Just for Sheal. One Xmas pudding.

That is a pretty thin radiator. So question?? would not the heat dry out the wood and crack it? I thought there is suppose to be a certain distance between radiators and the "wood" trim. But, I am only used to the really big chucky ones. Usually a pretty steel cover is used.

 

Thanks redstar, don't worry that plank on the top isn't staying. It was just placed there to gauge scale before going any further.

The whole thing is a pointless pain in the backside.

 

My Grandad used to be a dab hand at woodwork and was always making furniture and bronze statues (used to make sculptures of race horses with jockeys) I remember him telling my mum rather proudly how he sold a small cabinet to an American chap and how it had been put into an auction and sold for a few thousand pounds as a genuine Victorian piece
he also used to make lovely radiator covers with pieced woodwork over the front they did look rather extravagant
