Hi @JBwood,

Many thanks for sharing your mirror upcycling project and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community.

This is a brilliant way of giving a treasured old mirror some new use and keeping it out of landfill. 

I love the way the deep red compliments the warm colour of the timber.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful project and congratulations on a job well done.

Jacob
