This arts and crafts mirror was made from rough cut oak and all the moulding was made from the same rough cut oak. It's a good project that incorporates a variety of skills included mortise and tenon joints. I used ebony plugs at the joint that are as well a structural touch. But most importantly the finish is a 7 step process that includes 6 different colours. I searched for this colour for quite some time and it is the closest to a arts and crafts finish process minus the fuming process used in the early years. If I was to change anything I would have used quarter saw lumber instead.
