I want to build a custom mantle shelf. My fireplace sticks out 2' and is 68" wide. I want to have the mantle go around the corners to return to the walls. What ideas do you guys have for this? Are there any websites showing something like this?

Hi,

WORKBENCH magazine, the February 1998 issue, has a good article on how to build a fireplace mantel. Their January 1993 issue also has an article on the subject. Good luck.
