Storage/Display question

[WV Sawmiller]

 

 
   I finished moving my mantels to the new shed extension/shelf today. I see I have 9 of them, some with some serious character. I will likely have to raise the prices to ever get rid of them. :D I do see I can get one more row on the current shelf and maybe 2-3 more because of the slope of the roof but that will make access a lot harder. I need to cut me an ash and a poplar mantel just so people can compare. Most of what I have is cherry,  one big walnut, one really ugly hickory and an ugly maple.

   I can finish the other shelf opposite the center upright. I did not finish the cross pieces to make access easier. It will also easily hold a dozen or so 3 to 4 inch thick mantels up to 10' long.

   The shelf below is at least twice as tall and I have a few 8/4 live edge walnut slabs under there and several on the yard I may cut.

Kbeitz/Banjo,

   Look at reply 24.

Moody,

   Not planning on re-sawing. These are fireplace mantels and intended to be used as 3-4 inch thick. Some people want 2" and I'll take one from below or elsewhere if they prefer.
