I built this fireplace back in 2009. First I used feathers and wedges to cut out the arch. Then I had the guys at Southwest stone tumble the stone and then laid it up drystack style with a no mortar joint.

I just finished a fireplace at the lighthouse on the coast. This involved picking the stone out of a field. Transporting it out to the coast and the installing it in place. The mantle was located and worked up by Jeffro in Tokeland, Washington. It is an old root ball with stones still stuck in the roots. I had some fun with the pattern on the floor too. This is one of my favorite projects. The owner allowed me the time to get real tight with the workmanship on this one, so it turned out really over the top nice.
