Building a Large Box Beam Mantel Is Easier Than You Think

#woodworkingtips #howtovideo #buildamantel
Join me in the shop as we build an attractive rift cut white oak box beam mantel. Using rabbet joints and mitre cuts I show how to assemble this simple but beautiful, defining addition to our client's fireplace wall. I also show you how a french cleat takes the hard work out of installation at the job site.
This video is part 1 and be sure to join us for the upcoming part 2 as we add floating shelves to complete this inviting space.
