Reflecting on Love

I was looking for a piece of wood that would “speak” to me and present me with a heart. I found this piece of burl that had a large hump in it. I tried to imagine how to make a heart out of it and thought, if I could create a reflection, it will be my heart. It had a very large cavity in it and thought, what a perfect area to fill with epoxy and add some red to the piece. This piece can be a center piece for a table or comes with a French cleat (hanging mechanism) to mount this to a wall. The only real way to see the heart is to view it in the mirror. I love the symbolism of this.

I like it,mirror sure adds depth to your project.

Retirement is not as easy as I thought it would be

Great work, love the frame also.

Will work wood for food.

Ellen,

What a creative way to use such a beautiful burl. But how did you attach it to the mirror so it won’t fall off?

How large is it?
