Hello Again,
I am in the process of changing from an open fire to a wood burning stove. I am planning on having an oak mantle. The question I have is how should I fix it to the wall without seeing the fixings?
In the pictures (yellow box is where I plan to put the mantle) you can see that there is a concrete support that sticks out 20mm, I plan to router out the back of the wood so the oak will still sit flat to the walk. However the concrete support is angled (in the fireplace) so I cannot drill into the support, So I am not left with allot of space.
All help (apart from “no more nails” is welcome.
Thanks in advance
Steve
