re: A Screen for our Fireplace

Thanks! I’m glad I waited until after the fireplace painting was done. That was a… process, and while we had a pretty good idea of the colors, the woman working on it was artistic enough that we weren’t sure what it would look like until one day she proclaimed that she was done.

Tom, the rosette happened after I botched the joint on the top, and it ended up being a butt joint, rather than a half-lap. It’s also a critical piece of reinforcement.
