Black Walnut Live Edge Mirror

This turned out really well Mike! The shelf on the bottom is a nice touch. How many coats of finish did you use? Thanks for sharing.
PS: Where do you get cut offs like this? and/or how do you cut them to thickness?

Great design and functional as well.

looks great

Candy, I used 4 coats of finish on the front and 2 on the back. I get slabs like this from a company named thelumbershack they have a web site and also sell on eBay.

The slabs come kiln dried and you pick out the thickness you want. Most of them are to wide for my planner so I use hand planners and a wide variety of hand sanders, from my belt sander to my orbital to get the finished product. I like this company because they take pretty good measurements and give accurate descriptions of the slabs they sell.

Thanks Mike. Always on the lookout for new sources of wood! And they are having a sale right now!

Your mirror looks amazing. The walnut is gorgeous and love the bark inclusion and the shelf. Totally an eye catcher, great work!
