Lou,
That is really nice! I love the figure in curly maple. What did you use to finish it and get that particular color?
I won't comment on the time it took; it takes me longer than that just to get ready to think about doing something.

Lou, very nice. I love the "pop" you got out of your curly maple!
Wow, Lou. That's some gorgeous wood. That seems like the perfect project for showing it off. You're going to have some very grateful recipients.
Gorgeous work lou!
I have to agree with the others, that is some great looking wood and a fine looking mirror. Nice job.

Very nice work.
Had the dog not stopped to go to the bathroom, he would have caught the rabbit.
Love the mirrors. I have had that on my to do list for a long time. The classic style just begs for curly or tiger maple.

Great job. Really love the curly maple. Where do you get your maple? I have finished some curly maple per your suggestions and really looked great.
hi all
glad you liked the mirror. the picture is pretty poor, but you all get the idea. These are nice little diversions from bigger projects. I highly recommend them. As far as the finish is concerned warren, search on my name and I think you will find the method that I use. I guess ray had used it and he seems to like it. This maple is soft maple from upstate NY. I had bought about 6000 lbs of it a while back so it will take me some time to use it up. I have some nice stuff from PA as well that I have built furniture from. I have also bought saw logs from PA that were not very good when all was said and done. I think a more experienced sawyer would have known better, but I am still learning. Some of the lower grade curly maple I may sell in the future. most of it is 12/4 and some is 20" wide.
