Coloring in the carving was done using a gel stain glazing process (can find it on Vectric forum (http://www.vectric.com/forum/index.php). Finish is hoeny pecan with 4 coats of lacquer. The first picture is what things looked like before the new mantel.

I didn't want to start a new topic and the name of this one works. I thought I would start posting some of my presentation images I recently worked up for a project which includes the cabinets for the house also.

the corbels and acanthus are from Osborne. and I used the molding in the software and the frames are miter doors. The finish is actually going to be a cream/white glaze with conversion varnish.
