We just finished these fireplace mantels and showed them at a recent builders show. Show goers were amazed that these could be done and many were interested in having one made for them.
The mantels use the Vector Arts 3D Ranch Scene. The deer mantel scene was modified by adding a cougar into the scene and is made from Alder. The ranch scene was made from hickory.
Once CNC carving was done the mantels went under the hand chisels for about 2 hours apiece for undercutting and cleaning up the CNC carving. After carving and sanding gel stains were used to add some color variation to the scenes.
I apologize that the pictures had to be so small. Forum rules of no bigger then 620 pixels in width.
