Steve Good ornament

[Be_O_Be]

 This is from Steve Good's newsletter. I had some 5' mirrors leftover from other projects and thought they would work here. I routed a recess in the back for the mirror and will secure it with some silicone. Probably add a piece of felt to the back to avoid scratches.

Great job and idea. Must be hard to cut a circle out of the glass mirror.

Very nice! What wood and finish did you use?

 Purchased them at a craft store to make hand mirrors, they have an assortment of sizes.

  I believe it to be cherry. Just a coat of spray can shellac.

 Kevin, these are glass mirrors. Craft stores have pre -cut rounds from 1"- 8" for about $1.50 for a 5" mirror. I watch the ads for a 40% off coupon.

First, beautiful job on these.  Thanks for sharing.

Second, you noted you “watch” for the “ads for a 40% off coupon.” Not sure what “craft store” you were referring to, and which ones  you might have in your area (or anyone else reading) but wanted to say in case you were unaware that almost all of the craft stores have weekly email coupons or coupons online on their websites for at least 40% off, often 50% and on occasion, more. Also, many of them will take their competitors coupons. You can usually sign up online or in store to get the emails but if you don’t want the daily emails some of them generate, you can usually logon to their website and locate that week’s coupon. In my area, we have Michaels, JoAnn’s, AC Moore and Hobby Lobby and they all have a weekly coupon and will take the other’s. Some will let you use one of theirs, and then some competitors in same transaction. (Not on same item, but different items. You just have to ask.) just wanted to let you guys know that if you were unaware. I know sometimes in my area, there are no printed coupons but I always get one by email almost weekly from all of them.

Very nice. I need to learn more router  techniques. I wouldn't know how to route that recess and that makes it so much cooler.

You did a terrific job.  Love the wood too.
