Not having any luck finding a mirror for our new powder room that looked right, I decided to make one. We purchased an appropriate sized framed mirror and removed it from the gaudy frame it came with.
Checking my wood pile I found a few pieces of pine with knots in them. I tried to incorporate the knots into the design thus the large knot in the center of the top rail highlighted in the center of the carving.

This is a comfortably rustic design that looks terrific. How did you carve the decorative grooves?

Looks great , nice sanding job and the rounded edges are pleasing too. Good design.

Festler – I used a router to do the design.
I really appreciate everyone’s kind words!
