Okay so the previous owner put a piece of oak I think it is as a mantelpiece but as I'm having a woodburner fitted soon , it has to go as it's a no no to have combustibles within a cartoon distance of the woodburner ......
I was thinking of a piece of slate . Needs to be 1800 long and 180 ish wide
Had quotes of around £150 !
That's with a riven finish on top and chamfered edge .....
But thinking about it I don't mind a sawn edge finish and could I take any sharp edges off with a stone disc in a grinder ???
What's everyone think ? Or any experiences of slate
I could of had a heat shield made for the oak but that would of been over £200 ....
Cheers Mike
