Thread: Mission Style Mirror Finished

    Mission Style Mirror Finished

    Just finished a mission style mirror for my foyer. Made out of 4/4 and 5/4 QSWO. First time using the Jeff Jewitt finishing process, really impressed. Had to move inside for the final gluing and finishing due to the cold weather.
    Special thanks to John Teneyck and Rob Luter for assisting in the finishing process. Time to start a hall table to match.

    You nailed it. That finishing approach is 75% of what I do.

    Plus - clever guy - take a small project like the mirror, sort out the finishing, then move on to the bigger project.

    We'll expect to see photos of that as well.
    When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

    Beautiful work! What are the approximate dimensions of the mirror?

    A reputation for craftsmanship is a responsibility
    to never take lightly.

    Looks great, Keith! I am just completing a small A&C mirror for a Christmas gift and am wrestling with the seemingly endless finishing options. Yours looks sharp.
