Hi:I recently completed a carved mirror frame for my daughter-in-law, which I had been planning to tackle over the last few months. Christmas holidays provided the time and the solitude to work on it.This mirror frame is carved in Cherry wood. I chose to mitre the corners, but also to use Kreg pocket hole screws to fasten the corners snug.The rear of the mirror frame is router to accept 5/16” mirror glass.Canadian maple leaves were the decoration of choice for my DIL, as she and her husband (my son) are a military family, attached to CFB Borden, Ontario, Canada.The finish is clear, so the colour (Canadian spelling :-) you see is the natural wood… no stain.
