Looking forward to this. I did something similar but smaller!
Thinking about trying to pressure wash the bark off that piece this morning.

Had a little time yesterday to mess with the mantle.
I bored four 1" holes 12" in the back of it to accept the steel rods. The mantle will be slid over them.
The Mrs. and myself rolled it into the house in preparation to mount it.
It was a snug fit but we managed to slide it over the rods.Took it back off and trimmed it up a bit and had to grind some of the rock to get it to fit up tight against the rock.
I used a pressure washer to de-bark the piece and the live edge is very interesting up close.
It still needs to be dried and finished sanded but the wife and I are liking the look.

Good job. I would love to have a saw like that. So cool.
