A Red Pine framed mirror from Along the Ridge has a natural edge that gives a rich contrast to the smooth face of the frame. The wood for these frames are cut in northern Wisconsin and are carefully sanded smooth and sprayed with three coats of water-based polyurethane. A live edge frame like this could easily be used as a wall-hung mirror or as a mirror that rest on top of a mantle and leaning against a wall. I build all of my mirrors from scratch and have a 1/4" thick mirror cut specially for the frame I am building. Included with each custom made mirror is a drywall hanging system that is incredibly user friendly to install. These frames are rustic in nature meaning that there may be imperfections in the wood such as cracks or wormholes that give the frame that natural, rustic look but do not negatively impact the integrity of the frame in any way. It is impossible for me to make two rustic framed mirrors that are identical. Many may look similar, but no two are ever exact and that it was makes these frames so unique. Please contact me for pricing if you are interested in having me build a rustic framed mirror for you. The largest sized framed mirror I can ship where shipping is under $100 is a 28" x 45" frame. Anything larger than that the cost for shipping goes up quite quickly.

Along the Ridge is a small business located in west-central Wisconsin that specializes in rustic wooden frames and a variety of unique wooden items.
Red Pine, harvested and cut at a local mill in northwest Wisconsin, is the primary lumber used due to the beautiful blue staining created by Mother Nature.
I like to keep the natural edges when working with wood and this means that no two pieces will ever be identical. Each piece offers its own unique grain pattern, tint, and edge design and I try to incorporate everything the wood has to offer to make a piece that is equally functional and welcoming to the eye.
A couple of years ago I heard some advice from a friend who said, "Quit saying how much you'd like to be a woodworker and be a woodworker already."
So I did.

For Cherry mirrorI am thrilled with my mirror. I looks exactly like I hoped it would. I received it in 2 weeks which was much faster than I expected. He really does a beautiful job.
