Elm mirror

The natural live edges of this Wych Elm mirror contrast with the internal square clean lines to give a satisfying contrast. Elm has a beautiful brown colour with prominent wide interlocking grain, this mirror also has some fantastic burrs which are swirling grain and small knots and buds which have formed into a growth over many decades. The timber came from a tree that was killed off by the dutch elm disease, fortunately there are still many pockets where elms can be found in Scotland.

The mirror measures 130 x 80cm. Finished in Danish oil.
