Sorry, I am no good at wood ID, but it looks like you brought out the best in it.

Good little frame you’ve got yourself there.
I would say that it is not walnut, as the grain and color do seem to be more like cherry, or something along those lines.

to fritzz67 I only had a board that was 1×5 and about 5’ long I made a square frame aprox. the size I used maple loose tenons to hold the parts together { you can’t see them in the pictures Sorry] then I laid the mirror on the frame and took a pair of calipers to make it the width I wanted. Clear as mud now ! Right?
To everyone thanks for looking and trying to figure out what kinda wood it is I’m going to tell everyone it’s cherry…..........Schloemoe

Nice looking mirror. I’m trying to decide on a design for two mirrors above our bathroom vanity. This one’s definitely a contender. Again, nice work.

schloemoe why would you make a chair back from a mirror? You can’t see yourself while sitting in chair. LOL
Nice mirror frame.
