Looking into the possibility of building a shelf above the stove myself so I can store wood there. See attached image and sketch. Everything around is chimney/masonry.

I've never done anything like this before, so I'm a bit unsure about how the construction should be and hope for tips. If I use rebar and then a layer of bricks followed by mortar, would that work?

Grateful for tips
 
  • A wood stove with a built-in shelf above, filled with neatly stacked firewood. White chimney and light wooden floor visible.
  • Fireplace with wood storage below, surrounded by a white chimney structure, in a modern interior setting.
