While helping my wife's parents downsize this fall, I salvaged some oak boards and four 8" x 24" beveled edge mirrors. I helped my two younger sons make four of these mirrors that they will be giving to their older siblings as Christmas presents tonight when the kids exchange gifts. I know the older kids will enjoy having hand made pieces for their homes made by their younger brothers using materials salvaged from their grand parents house.
Nice job recycling and working with the boys.

Thanks David. Nothing fancy on the finish. Minwax Golden Oak stain (over red oak), with a two coats of satin poly wiped on. Light hand sanding between coats. The boys did all of the finishing.
