I’m think this is my first attemt with live wood, I think they calll it that. It was gonna go in the fire, but look what we did instead. My husband ripped it for me and I did the rest. I realyl like it. It’s not scrap until it’s preety much gone. Am I right? I see a piece of wood and it’s gonna be something, someday.

Good looking mirror frame. When I first looked at your photo I thought it was door trim going into your bathroom. Possibly another idea?

No router bit or shaper could make a frame with that classic look.
Very Nice.

Stop me from finding little projects to do. It never ends. This was one piece of wood. I’m always pulling something out of the burn pile. In fact, I have a few more I pulled out and forgot to bring them home. I guess I’ll get them next weekend.

I see a piece of wood and it’s gonna be something, someday.
This is why my scrap pile keeps growing. I just have a hard time throwing any piece of wood away! Projects like this don’t help – I just thought of some pieces I’ve been saving that frame the door in the garage like this.
Nice job!

I was going to frame all my doors like this and decided it was too much work. This cedar came from a lumber mill, I guess it’s the scrap they don’t use. My friends husband brings it home and that’s where I got it. It’s flat on one side and rounded with the bark on the other and only one edge is cut. Too much work for me. But then again free is free. We did hang a piece on the ceiling to divide the kitchen from the rest of the cabin. It looks kind of cool, but then again, I guess I can’t get past the fact that it looks like a tree haning on my ceiling, didnt take any pictures of that. Not sure I like it, but everyone else seems to. Thanks for the compliments.

I can’t help you stop, I have the same problem :-)) I was pondering how to cut a maple log yesterday when my wife said no more wood until I do something with what I already have piled up!!
The mirror looks good, very unique.

I too thought it was door frame at first. It looks great.

That’s quite a unique mirror frame. I’ve got a couple big piles of scraps that just haven’t told me what they want to be yet..I’m trying to figure out how to store it without clogging up my shop too badly. Now you go and show me how to make a mirror out of it.

Ha, ha, ha. Thanks. That’s funny. Makes me want to get the nerve up and take a picture of it and show it. But I don’t know. Maybe this weekend, we’ll see.
