What's yours guys thoughts? Do TVs belong above the mantel or keep the fireplace as its own focal point? Our fireplace is in our great room, not the formal living room.

Personally, I'm not a fan of TV's above fire places when other options exist but it depends on the room layout and you use the room. Some people have no choice.

Did you run the plywood under the entirety of the trimmed area? Or just the the interior? Slicks nice!
My current projects are more pedestrian. Velcro'ing the unvelcro'd and trying out different finishes on walnut for some black pipe shelves I'm making. The latter is so damn iterative and I'm sure there are options I have left to try! Plus not all pieces finish/color the same. 4 finishes shown. The smaller board is more blond because of less heartwood. </crappy phone pix>
