This is my first “fine woodworking”, a mirror for our dining area. Based on totaly manhours (measure 35 times, cut once), this mirror is worth over $20,000! (ok, maybe not quite).
I was quite pleased considering it was a first.

Is this a mission style frame for this miiror. If so did you make them from a set of plans or is this your own design. It looks great and it would look great on anyone’s wall…..congratulations on a good job!!

Steve,

This is a nice frame and you used a good combination of woods as well. You have a nice design too.

Thanks for the post.

Very nice indeed. by my calculations that’s about right. measure 36 times, cut once….and every time I do that the piece of wood is still to short…go figure. (get it : “Go figure”).

Thanks for the comments. The wood used was curly Cherry, Tiger Maple for the shelf and Walnut trim at the mirror.
Yep, jjohn, I got it! :)

Excellent mirror! I have been considering building one with barn wood when I can find a good piece of antique mirror to build a frame for. You did a great job on this piece, it’s a good mix of traditional and modern looks. Well done :-)
