Entry Hall Mirror
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Craig JohnsonThe yellow birch used for most of this entry-hall mirror (5-3/4-in. deep by 31-3⁄8-in. wide by 29-1/2-in. tall) was reclaimed from where it sank—probably in Lake Superior, according to his lumber supplier—after it was logged more than 150 years ago. The subtle discolorations in the wood are evidence of its long history under water. The drawer fronts are kwila, and the interior panels are bird’s-eye maple. Johnson hand-carved the key hooks and drawer pulls. He also made the brass knife hinges. The finish is shellac and beeswax.
