The Woodshop Shed

Entryway Wall Mirror

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I liked the mirror project in a recent FWW, and used that for inspiration for my version of it. The space I originally thought about putting it could not accommodate an 18" mirror, so I shrunk it to 14". As often is the case, however, I ended up putting it somewhere else, and it looks undersized, so I may need to add "something" to it to better fill the space.

The mirror frame is made from an 8-sided ring of cherry. The front face is beveled by 1/4" towards the center. I cut that bevel on my CNC, then laid a texturing toolpath on top of it to get that carved look. You can create nearly any pattern you can dream up by adjusting the toolpath parameters. I had the weather station instruments on another piece of wood and decided to use them with the new mirror frame. They are held in wood rings that are glued into pockets in the bottom section of the mirror frame.







The finish is GF's WB black stain on the black parts, and Arm-R-Seal satin on everything.
