Walnut Mirror Frame

Turned out nice…

(1) Beautiful result!
(2) I like the idea of biscuits and drawbolts. Are you going to use glue for the final assembly?
(3) From your detailed drawing, it looks like the glass will be glued to the wall. Will you then attach the frame to the wall with glue?

Looks great. I like your tunnel trick for the molding. I’ve always cut the profile on the edge of a board and cut it off to get strips. Your way looks like a better choice.

Cool idea with the draw bolts.
Looking forward to more!

That’s a huge mirror, you were fortunate to get the required timber.
Great result!

Thank You All

menuisierJC Yes, I will glue the joints on site and will use Locktite 3x panel adhesive to mount the Frame

Rich I usually do it the same way as you, but lack of planning left me with cut offs to use for the trim….

I got lucky on the wood. Right place at the right time sort of deal.

I was going to use Maxifix fittings,
I even ordered some, but they wouldn’t get here until the 4th so I used what was on hand (draw bolts)

Thanks for looking and commenting…

Looks great. I can’t even find walnut that long where i live.

It actually came from Peterman’s in Fontana, CA
Paid 9.00 a bdft

Got it put up the other day. Monday I will remove the high tech clamping system.
Seams weren’t the best, for in field seams, but at least they were tight.

Plugs are going to be changed to brown and I am going to make plate covers that match the frame.

Can’t wait to see the mirror guys bring the mirror up the elevator…...

Mirror was put in Friday.

Looks awesome, LeeRoy. Just what I’d expect from you.

The photos don’t do it or your craftsmanship justice.
