From the Back Cover

No mountain cabin or rustic retreat is complete without the warmth of fire burning within a well-used fireplace, spreading its soothing heat throughout each room. Many of today's mountain homes have made the fireplace their focal point, and thus the fireplaces have become elaborate works of art in their own respect. Travel down back roads and visit some of the most exquisitely designed fireplaces and breathtaking detail work that fireplace artisans are creating today in esteemed author and gallery owner Ralph Kylloe's latest book, Rustic Fireplaces. From stone and rocks to elaborately carved wood and antlers to a variety of metals and wrought iron, Kylloe has collected designs for more than 100 fireplaces and hearths that will inspire and amaze. Rustic Fireplaces is perfect for homebuilders, homeowners and craftspeople who work creatively with natural building materials, and for anyone looking for ideas on how to incorporate the warmth and artisanship of a good fireplace into their home.
