Finished the mantel the other night. We had a couple poplar 4x10's left over from building, so I cut them down to 2.5" thick by about 8" deep & used them for the mantel around the pellet stove.
Close up. We used a water based polyurethane & it really brings out the grain of the poplar.
These will turn into many shades of brown after they age a while. Still a bit green since I just planed them down.

Hello, I am a person looking into building a log home. I have been looking through your blog and I think you have been doing a great job. I hope to be able to do as well. I was wondering if you could provide some kind of loose o even detailed drawing of your floor plans. Your plan looks quite open and that is something we are having issues with designing. I also like that your design is 30 x 30, a cube is much more efficient to heat than a rectangular solid. If you would like, my email is thoughtsandminds@hotmail.com. Thank you very much.
