I plan to replace the stick on wall mirror in my wifes bathroom with two 32 x36 framed mirrors made of red oak to match the cabinets. I am not a newbie wood worker but not very experienced either. I just bought some 1/4 inch s hank rail and stile bits to play with. My intention is to use4 inch stock ( WHich I think is 3.5 nominal???) My thought was to use my bits and to make the frame simlar to cabinet doors sticking the glass in the middle. Maybe u sing a french cleat to hang it.
What do you think? WOuld this look acceptable or be difficult to do? WOuld it be better to use mitered corners or to just cut a rabbet for the mirror to sit in instead of a mortise like a cabinet door?
I appreciate it!
