if the woodchuck was building a fireplace surround and mantle?
No to MDF because I don't want to deal with the dust and the weight. So I was wondering about some good quality plywood, or pine (what quality) or poplar? I'm planning on cutting a 1 1/2" rabbet on the inside edge of the pilaster and architave to simulate being mounted on a backing board.
Ideas? Opinions? Thanks.
