Nice!!! Thanks for the Sketchup designs. Everytime I see someone else use Sketchup, I realize just how versitale this program is. You gave me good ideas. How did you like working with the sapele? I imagine this mirror is a little lighter in weight than your first one. Good job!

Super job. Something for the family to be proud of.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

I have to say I was very pleased with how the sapele worked. The wood cut fairly easily and and I was pleased with the texture of the wood. The only real gotcha would be the fact that any figured or wavy grain has a tendency to tear-out on the jointer of planer. This was the first time I took rough stock and jointed and planed the pieces to the final dimensions. Much more work, but I definitely got a much greater sense of satisfaction than I normally do buying, say, S4S oak like I had in the past. The only way I would get any more satisfaction would be to grow and harvest my own wood. I’ll try that in another 10 months or so with a Bradford Pear I planted that blew-down in a storm. It’s cut and drying in my basement.
