"Suspended Mantle"
Glazed Cedar
approx 8 ft. wide
ca. 1988

Preliminary carving was done with a chainsaw. Final cuts were made with a very simple straight chisel.

The mantle is cantilevered from inside the wall and could hold the weight of adults sitting along its entire length. Yet, for house-painting, the mantle can be disassembled by one person and removed from the two gate hooks that hold it on the wall.

Private residence.
Westwood, CA
