Chalkboard

Made this frame for a mirror (see other post). Intended to use an existing mirror and break into 2 equal sizes to make two framed mirrors. Broke the mirror though after making the frame (learnt my lesson there!) and decided rather than waste the frame to make a chalkboard for the kitchen. Finished in new Minwax Classic Grey and two coats of Wipe on Satin Poly.

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)
