I Crafted. 54” long x 7” wide x 3” thick walnut mantle.

The underside will be 6 “ from top of a gas fireplace.

two questions:

 

1. what type of finish given heat issue,,,oil will dry out quickly?  Poly?

 

2. do I need to craft a metal heat shield? 
 

thanks for any and all advice?

    If you have city building codes, they will dictate the clearance and reqmt needed for the mantle.  I will try look into what mine are.
