Book matched mirror
john lucas
To relieve some of the stress of the last few weeks I started working on a fun little project. The mirror body was a 3/1/2" board that I resawed and book matched. Then it was too thin so I resawed another section and used that for the mirror side. The whole mirror body was still pretty thin so I attached the handle using an inch long dove tail. Epoxied that and then put 2 short brass pins in from the glass side to make it stronger. Had to carefully carve the outer portion of the dovetail to match the curve of the mirror. The handle looks kind of funny from the side but it's actually kind of comfortable to hold and to pick up off the table.
