Detail of Custom Live-Edge Maple Mantelpiece

The clean lines of the limestone hearth are offset by the sinuous live edge of the handcrafted, custom wood mantelpiece. The wood is offset from the limestone surface just slightly to create a shadowline detail, an accent found also in the custom railings and in the kitchen cabinetry. (Woodworking by Gary A.
