Here is a job that I have been on for 5+ months (not just this fireplace but the entire 9K house). This fireplace from start to finish took about 6 weeks as we took it from raw wood and MDF mix and sanded, primed, sanded, caulked and putty'd, painted, sanded, painted again, distressed, sanded, glazed 4 layers and finally sealed.

Very nice! What is the difference between price for that compared to if they just used Cherry or Mahogany?



Keep the pics coming!

Wow very nice work indeed.

Just the wood for either cherry or mahogany would upward to $40K, then add the master carpenter (this guy made most of the parts on the fly) which would be about another $30K, then you would need a finisher to come in and sand, distress, sand again, clean, dye, then a wiping stain, sealer, sand, glaze (to get the antique look) and then sanding sealer again followed by cat varnish. Best guess $10-12K for finishing it.

This entire thing wood, carpenter and me was about $30 total! So I guess to say it a different way, less then 1/2...

[Paintmeup]

That's fantastic!

Did you spray any of it or was it all brush work?

Incredible! Looking absolutely great. I'd love to do a job like this.

Me too, but not for $30.00. Forty grand seems more more like keeping beans on the table.

Folks,

This is an old dead thread, in case you did not realize (don't worry I make the same mistake often) but more to the point, FoilEffects will not return to answer any questions. He has left the building.

So for that reason I will shut 'er down
