    Been wanting to put the old woodburning stove back in the lodge for the last 4 years, but wanted to put in a rock wall & hearthstones for it first. Well, I was finally told by the owners to pull the trigger on the project, so I got everything ordered up and installed it over this past week & a half.

    It's my first time doing stone work, and I'm pretty happy with how it all worked out.

    Here's some of the product.

    And the progression.

    The near final result...

    I'm waiting on a couple new legs for the Castiron Stove before I get that in place. I'll throw up a few picks when we have a fire going :tu:

    Thanks guys! I'm going to paint the studs I scribed in dark brown, so they don't stand out as much. It's driving me nuts :busted:
