Shown in Reclaimed Heart Pine; Customizable
The mirror's frame has been hand-built. STACKED piece by piece, layer by layer, all the while controlling the profile. The reclaimed Heart Pine was salvaged from a gutted Brooklyn Brownstone's building joist. The wood's natural coloring shows off tones ranging from light yellows and blonde to dark brown, including some almost black areas where century old nails stained the wood over decades. This is a natural finish and no is stain involved. This old-growth wood is only available through reclamation. Once complete, the surface was gently sculpted smooth using a variety of hand held tools, resulting in a finely honed finish with slight undulations, similar to that of hand-built ceramics.

Shown in Reclaimed Mahogany; Customizable
The mirror's frame has been hand-built. STACKED piece by piece, layer by layer, all the while controlling the scalloped profile. The salvaged mahogany came from a variety of places, including some from a sinker log from the Amazon River, some from an outdoor patio deck from Eastern Long Island NY, a couple of dumpsters, and quite a bit was sourced from a handful of local Brooklyn wood shops. The wood's natural coloring shows off warm tones ranging from red and maroon to light and mid brown tones, with some paler colors interspersed. There is no stain involved. Once complete, the surface was gently sculpted smooth using a variety of hand held tools, resulting in a finely honed finish with slight undulations, similar to that of hand-built ceramics.
