    Default 3" Beveled Mirrors

    In the past I have bought these from Jim at CWS. However, he no longer stocks them. They were good quality. Does anyone know where I might be able to source a similiar size and quality?

    you may wish to look at Packards Tools in the USA.
    I know they stock a wide range of prices and depending on exchange rate S&H etc could be no more expensive than
    locally sourced items.

    Have had no success in sourcing these within Australia, and was wondering has anyone had any dealings with this US Company?

    Packard is a North Carolina company with an extensive paper catalog. They are mail order only, and have been in business since 1991:

    Packard Woodworks: The Woodturner's Source: Bevel Edged Mirrors

    Better Business review:

    Packard Woodworks, Inc. Review - WOODWORKING EQUIPMENT & SUPPLIES in Tryon, NC - BBB Business Review - BBB serving Asheville and Western North Carolina

    I get their catalog, but as there are a couple of other suppliers in town I buy very little from them. The catalog is a wonderful resource with color photos and prices. Pricing would not help you much in AU.
    So much timber, so little time.
