Send me your mailing address and I'll send you my article on making a handled mirror. I may also have plans for a routed mirror but I think mine are nicer. John

>Dennis,

I haven't made but a couple ... however a friend of mine does and here's a couple I received from him. They are a simple design, but the finish is everything! Lots of hand rubbing and a wipe on poly finish, buffed to a very high gloss. Not a mark anywhere. Made out of Bird's Eye Maple, one stained and one not. Good luck with your mirrors.

Ron
