The Christmas Mirror

The final wood shop project this year was a tall dressing mirror for KT.  She did not know I was making it for her, however suspicion was raised by the amount of time it was taking to complete the other projects.

The mirror will be hung on the wall in our bedroom.  It measures 20.5" wide and 60" tall.  The frame is made of curly maple with a walnut inlay. 

(Sidenote... interesting to see how much spherical aberration there is

in this image from the digicam's lens... the sides are actually straight.) 

Obviously, the finish remains to apply.  KT has asked for a natural finish to maintain the contrast being maple and walnut.  The maple is much curlier than I first realized when planing down the rough lumber and I'm sure the finish is going to really bring out the curl.  I'll have to post pictures once the finish is complete and the mirror is hung on the wall.
