Installed! 2 coats of satin poly, I may do one more but the beams currently feel great. This is much darker than my original plan but I'm happy with how it turned out.
Next step is to add brick on each side of the opening. I'm using a product called BrickWeb and I will get that done this week. Just an accent (4' on the right side and 6' on the left). I'll be glad when I get this project finished - hopefully by January.
