We built this custom made mantel with fluted columns for clients of our Architect, Chris Broda, in Scarsdale, N.Y. The mantel needed to be completely custom made. The old existing chimney was not level, and extended out from the surrounding wall at varying dimensions. The outsides of the pilasters needed to wrap around these imperfections, while the inner sides sat flush against the (see drawing below) new stone trim. In addition to the scaled drawings supplied by Chris Broda, we needed to meet at the client's residence to collect our own measurements.

One section of a 7 page set of drawings supplied by Chris Broda. There was a considerable amount of detail and dimensional variation involved in this custom job. The finished result and benefit of careful planning was a beautiful mantel that was set into place (and like Grandpa used to say) "just like it grew there!"

A close up of the detail in the pilaster, crown molding, and mantel shelf. The clients asked us to paint this mantel white, though it hurt to cover up this lovely cherry wood.

We included this image of the mantel to show how big it was. Bobby's 6 ft. work bench looks small in comparison. It's hard to see in this picture, but there was an electrical outlet we wired into this mantel about 18" from the right end, near the back of the top shelf board.
