Carpathian Elm Burl Veneer Mirror

Mike:
this is a “too-cool” mirror. If you hadn’t stated that it was your first attempt at veneer work, I would never have believed it. A beautiful combination of marquetry and veneers. From the reflection in the mirror, you home is quite beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to post this project for the rest of us to enjoy,

Mike, Nice looking mirror. Thanks for the Woodsmith plug. Glad to see there are people out there building beautiful furniture from our plans.

Mike -

This is an oustanding piece! Thanks for posting this project. I have been browsing past postings looking for insight and inspiration. I have this issue of Woodsmith and very much admired the project when it was first published. I am looking into starting veneering this summer so this really struck a chord. Excellent work! Thanks for posting this project.

Mike, I got wind of this project via your posting for the glider. All I can say is WOW. This is very, very nice. Which issue of Woodsmith? When we get a new house, I may have the same need.

Mike;

Thanks to Martin for the roll the dice feature on this site.

I missed this project before, but I have to agree with the comments posted before. Hard to believe this is your first attempt at veneering.

Great job.
