Project Information

Fellow woodworker and LJ, Lee Barker, gave me a few pieces of salvage from a piano dismantle project he had in
progress. They turned out to be pieces of the bridges for a spinet piano, made of beech lumber with supporting pins where the strings pass through. They hung around my shop for some time without producing any inspiration until one day I discovered one of the mirrors that I built a couple of years ago started coming apart and the glass tiles suffered from extreme glue failure. That left me with a stripped pine frame around a 12" square mirror, so I added some thin cherry pieces, cut them and the frame in curves, and surrounded them with the curved bridge pieces. It took a bit of fitting and I did not alter the bridge pieces from their original size except to slightly trim the ends.

19" wide, 20 1/2" high, 1 1/2" thick, gloss lacquer finish.

What a great looking mirror. It's all in the mind, and you used yours just fine.

This piece looks like it would not be out of place in a remake of Sleeping Beauty. I wonder if one would not look at themselves differently when gazing in and being distracted or influenced by your rather amazing frame. Magic sometimes happens when you re-purpose things, smiles at the very least.

I like Gene's comment as well as the piece.

Terry's mind is not an area of 90o corners. It is as fluid as the art pieces he creates.

Kindly,

Lee
