These are BEAUTIFUL! Great work. Love the wood combinations / finish / colors. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Look good, but aren’t they a little heavy for hand mirrors? Especially for women to hold?

Great stuff as always Lou! Wonderful use of scraps… these turned out beautifully.

Lou,

Great concept and design here.

I personally like the first one the best.

Did you router out or do a partial dado along the back edge to receive a picture and the glass and backing?

Very stylish! Some of these might be in my future. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I really like the design. I like that is doesn’t take much material with the plywood core.

These are gorgeous and stylish! They are a great way to use scraps.

-- Why make it easy when you can make it difficult?

Very cool design and the outcome is great! Thanks for sharing.

I second what Glenn said… ...I love the wood combos. Now I know what to do with all my cutoffs that I have been saving. nice work.

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. Jonathan, I routed out/chiseled the recess in the back after I’d assembled the frames. I used a 1/4” rabbet bit so I wouldn’t go through the 3/8” banding and expose the plywood core.

They look great, nice use of expensive scrap!!!!
