This is a mirror and brush set I made for my wife, Carol. The Noah's ark pattern came from one of Sue Mey's projects, which I had to edit with some cutting and pasting to make appropriate for the size and space available. I made a template and used a router to make the recess for the mirror and then cut a maple oval which I resawed to use as a contrasting backing to the scrollsaw work. I used the same method to cut a recess for the head of a brush to set into the accompanying piece. I bought a commercially available brush and cut off the handle, then sanded the back flat and mounted it into the wooded brush. Both pieces are made of Jatoba wood which I found to be very dense and oily.
