Fireplace Surround part 2


Now we are ready to mount the pre-fabricated pilasters and trim to the lower section. The pilasters were positioned and fastened with screws from behind and the trim pieces and applique were face nailed with finish nails. The nail holes are filled and everything is sanded for finishing. On the upper section there are 3 different trim profiles, a base (mounted upside down) and a standard crown on top of the base. For the top edging, a piece of square stock is glued on and the profile routed into afterwards.
Below are some pictures of the finished pieces. The finish used was a clear gloss polyurethane (about 3 coats). Final installation.
If there are any questions about the steps or methods use for this project (or any project), please feel free to send me an email and I would be happy to answer any questions.
