The Custom Wood Fireplace Hearth...
Truly Heart(h)-Warming!

The custom wood fireplace hearth  --  a beautiful collaboration between man and nature  --  can stir both the heart(h) and soul . . . . . . .

Few,  if any,  natural  materials  exude the  warmth of wood.     When  paired
with   the   hands  of  a  skilled  wood-
working  artisan,  such as in the exam-
ple  at  right,  the  result can be abso-
lutely breathtaking!

Finely  grained and richly finished hard-
woods  such  as cherry and mahogany are, without a doubt, among the most frequent  types of woods employed to create   these  exquisite  custom  fire-
place hearth designs.   However, even softwoods  like  pine can be fashioned to form some very impressive examples of  the  woodworker's  craft,  such  as
that  shown in the example pictured at
left, below.

Walnut,  another  finely  grained hardwood,  was creatively employed in the unique,  one of a kind example pictured below, left. In the example pic-
tured below, right, note how the relatively simple,
albeit exquisitely crafted surround is used to suc-
cessfully frame the beautiful herringbone  pattern
of the firebrick used inside the firebox.

The following example is a beautifully executed Arts and Crafts,  or Crafts-
man design.  Note the built-in seating flanking the fireplace . . . a common feature of the style.
