      Our SM tomatoes are about the same size.

      Your oven is looking great.

        What a nice looking door! It will compliment the copper cladding I'm sure.


        For manufactured veneer on CMU, you could get the pre-blended, that's the easiest way....or just go 2:1 with type S or N, and use a little admix. I happen to be doing a fake stone job right now, and I'm using type N. I'll put some pics on my thread when it's done.

        I don't work with this stuff too much, this is the 5th project in the last 16 years...but since it relies on bond exclusively, make sure your substrate is clean and your mortar is rich.

        I would like to make a suggestion though. Go with real stone on the base if you can. They sell thin stone that adheres the same as manufactured veneer, and corners are available too. With all that copper work, it would really elevate the overall look.

          Ah, well maybe natural stone on the next oven. Thin stone veneer is about x2-x3 what manufactured veneer is. That said, it doesn't require any more skill than installing g fake stone does, because it isn't masonry work.

          What did you end up getting? The product I'm installing is made by Eldorado, it's called shadow rock and,have to admit, I like the look....it's the closest I've seen to natural stone.

            Put handles on the door so one more item I can mark of the check list.

              "Handles" Hll, those are a fashion statement !!!.
              They blend great! with your door style.
              They look like that they would have been better previewed on the MQ,though. .
              Seriously, they look great, and don't fret if something similar shows up again on someone else?s build. Mine

                  I was going to guess black birch. They look great with the finish of the door.

                      Now my door looks just plain boring, I guess I need to pick up the pace.

                      BEAUTIFUL and Elegant at the same time.

                        Been a while since I posted. Not much worth taking pics for but I have been doing odds and ends on the oven and the oven area.

                        Decided to layout the dome for the copper shingles and started my learning curve for bending and forming copper.

                            Hi Utah-sama,

                            Are you going to clad the copper directly to the dome, without insulation. If so, someone is going to get seriously burned, and if you plan to insulate, your copper dimensions are going to be different.

                              Check posts #539 & #594...plenty of insulation.


                              Looking good Utah, I can't wait to see the finished product.

                                I do have a suggestion because you are in a freeze thaw area. I'm not sure how weather tight your panels will be, so it might be worth considering coating the dome with Thoroseal. It's good insurance and a good product...compatible with masonry because it's cementitious.
