Pecky cypress mirror frame

I really like the texture of the wood. It speaks for itself!

Cool :-) Love te rescued wood and the eroded texture. Nice design choice going beefy with it!

I’m guessing it must have been fairly difficult wood to work with but well worth the effort!

This is so special and unique…also very brave to use wood like this for frame…bravo…good work.

Thanks guys! For anyone unfamiliar with pecky the “damage” is caused by a fungus which dies as soon as the tree is cut. So there are logs that were lost during river transport and are perfectly preserved. This is considered heavy pecky. For something more structural like table legs you’d want something with just a little pecky.

Very nice Grant. I really like the wood style.

Looks great. I built a couple of big mirrors a couple of years ago and , unexpectedly, they too are some of my favorite projects, probably because I walk by them every day. I supposed it could also be because I see a really good looking guy each time as well.

And of course I had to look up the lat/long on that pillow to see if you posted a “come steal my stuff” invitation. ;-)

Thanks Nathan and good eye on the pillow, yep born, raised and not planning to leave! Come visit sometime
Across from the mirror are double 3’0/6’0 windows so when the blinds are open it really looks cool seeing it from outside

I love the look of that. Well done.

I have never seen this wood before, it looks great, thank you for sharing this build

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

Dude, that is superb! If my wife saw this picture of that frame, she’d have me out there wading in your river looking for pecky’s kin. It makes an outstanding addition to your room and flows extremely well with your wife’s theme. I know she loves it.
