A fiend of ours was throwing out a perfectly good beveled glass mirror that I managed to save from the dumptster. It measured 41” square with a 1” bevel so I spent yesterday making a frame for it. The decision on the outside detail has not been made yet. I used mahogany and alder.

Outstanding as usual. Where do you get your hardwood? (have I asked that before? LOL)

Re: Mirror mirror on the wall
I am using Woodworker’s Source in Phoenix lately. I have tried the local source and have not been very pleased with the quality or the service.

Re: Mirror mirror on the wall
Very nice!
It would have never occurred to me to cut the edge profile after glue-up. What are the pro’s and con’s?

Re: Mirror mirror on the wall
The pos are that the fine detail match up perfectly with the miter. The cons are a total blowout. That’s pretty rare as long as you keep control of the piece. Trying to match final profile on glue up is nearly impossible.
