I want to follow the same design. Do you know at what angle the boards are cut?
This is a chevron design, not herringbone. Chevron is angled at 45 degrees, while herringbone is typically at a 90 degree angle but laid in a 45 degree pattern

Number 45
Seems like a 45
36.82 degrees
I agree. That angle definitely doesn’t appear to be 45 degrees. Maybe try using a protractor to get a more accurate match.
45 pounds
When two 45-degree angles meet in the middle, it forms Chevron pattern, when they are arranged in a stair-step manner, it creates Herringbone pattern. I recently completed the upper portion of ours using an opposite chevron design.
Begin from this spot. That will be your reference point. If that connection is incorrect, it will mess up everything. Herringbone usually runs at 45 degrees, but this particular one seems slightly tighter. Best of luck and have fun.
Had some really helpful advice. I was actually unsure of where to begin.
The answer is 45
A 45-degree angle cut
Do you think you could see the football game properly with those candles blocking your view?
Haha not my photo. 🤣
But I concur.
🤣 I was just thinking, my husband would definitely complain about those candles being in the way 🤦🏼♀️
Haha, herringbone… still funny 😂 and it’s actually not herringbone at all 🙈
I did 45
Your mantel looks amazing!
What materials did you use to create it?
I repurposed an old 7×7 barn beam from my great-grandfather’s barn built in the 1920s. After cleaning it down to 6×6, I sealed it with Matte Poly.

At a 45 degree angle
Lovely
I phoned Hairington bone
It’s basically a bunch of 45 degree cuts that I put together. It took me some time
Here, the only pieces missing are on the side. I recently finished building a floating entertainment center to go underneath, and tomorrow I’ll be adding a center fireplace
