First project

[newbieblyth]

Nearly finished my first project a mirror, it is a based on something my lovely saw in a gallery a few years ago and said "you could make one of those"! Well got the piece of wood from the Festival of the Tree a few weeks ago:

Some chiseling - more like carving really

Now into two..

And missing a few steps out we have a mirror, OK a an MDF back and a mirror from one on offer for £14, a few coats of Danish oil...

Hopefully I will post a better picture of it on the wall when I get around to fitting it - tonights task is to rebuild the washing machine [/img]

I cant see whats wrong with the URL, I presume thats what yahoo gave you. but I just get a 404 error, not a missing picture if that helps any.
Correction: the last pic works but it appears to have a slightly different address from the other four

Andrew,
Nice idea well done. What is the wood?

[newbieblyth]

Oak I think, but hey I'm no expert. (yet)

Finally got it on the wall, photographed from a slightly strange angle as I didn't want my ugly mug in shot!

That looks great. I really like the natural waney edges. Might have to pinch that idea.

Very interesting mirror ........... I may pinch the idea too

I wonder how difficult it would be to add wany edge vertical to the mirror design

Nice project Blyth. I find a lot of mirror frames tend to be a bit staid and boring, yours 'mirrors' (sorry) the natural wood.

i like it a lot
