It take a good eye to see the new in the old and broken. Good job.

Thanks every one, I have another bigger mirror I found at a auction, paid five dollars for it. The mirror is a 1/4” thick beveled rectangular shape, the frame is QSWO that had four different colors of paint on it. Cleaned up nicely. I have two ladies asking for it. the highest one is offering $95 dollars so far. not sure how long I will hold out.

I think you did a great job. Something for $2 turned out to be worth a whole lot more. I can relate to that.

Wonderful salvage job Joel. Always like hearing about something old being recycled into something new and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Very nice job, Joel. I like to frequent those community auctons where you never know what you may find! A little forsight and elbow grease and you have a treasure!

God Bless,

Recycling is part of the solution. Recycling wood is great, and you got a mirror to go with it as well. Looks great. Well done. Keep it up!

You may have inspired me. I have a mirror in a kind of cheesy frame. The mirror has a hand cut flower basket, hand cut by my grandfather. In a nice oak frame I think it will be a knockout.

The mirror turned out great! Your wife was right to keep it. “The look”, I can relate to that Thanks for posting.
