Hey everyone,

This is the update I promised in my last posting. Finally got a decent picture of the progress I have made so far with the mirror project.

As you can see, it is getting closer to a finished state. Still have a little bit of work to be done, but am getting really close.

Still haven't decided how to finish it yet. She wants to hang it in the master bedroom, but everything in the master bedroom is a dark mocha color, almost a black color....

I work at a lovely woodcarving company named Carvewright. You may have heard of us. Our CNC machine is getting pretty popular. Anyways, I used the software for the machine to design an extremely nice frame for the mirror. I spent numerous days working on the design, trying to get it just right....
