A Wall Mirror
The LOML asked for a wall mirror in our walk in wardrobe instead of the cheval mirror that she has been using - it takes up too much room.
I found some suitable silky oak re-cycled from a friend's cupboard demolition.
Here is the finished product.
I have documented the steps in making this on my blog if anyone is interested.
It was well received in time for her birthday. Phew!
Cheers

Three good things about that one SG:
- You used recycled timber
- The grain in that SO is top notch
- You have done a bloody good job.

Thanks fellas.
Much appreciated.
We had a bloke at work who was called mirror. He was always going to look into it.
That usually meant that nothing would be done and he hoped everyone would forget about it.

I had a boss once that was WINDEX, Everything was CLEAR, THATS CLEAR, THIS IS CLEAR all day. And onother guy was 'merry go round', he'd always get back to you.
Now my question: what are the benefits and disadvantages of having the bottom rail go all the way across. I was going to make one but I was going to put the bottom rail inside the 2 side ones. My thought being the weight if the mirror may pull the mortice out over time, and if it was inside the 2 sides it can't do as much damage over time. Am I over thinking it?

Great job SG, as all the bretheren have said before, great Silky, recycled, very nice work and I love the steel embelishments
Over thinking Fly Not sure what SG has done but I usualy put a ply back on my mirrors which I screw to all four sections of timber, this is an additional tie also. Not that I realy think it needs it.
