Step 29: Completed Tip: After planing and filing, tip tapers nicely from front to back.

Step 17: Shape Right Edge of Top End I Tip): Using large (no. 7x18 mm) gouge, begin to shape top end on right side. For a distance of about 2 in. (measured from tip), contour line is slightly undercut.

Step 18: Scribe Right Edge Handle Profile: Referring to above photo, scribe right edge handle profile (see arrow) as shown.

Step 19: Scribe Front Handle Profile: Referring to above photo, scribe handle profile (see arrow) on front of mirror as shown.

Step 20: Begin Carving Front Handle Profile: Starting at point where right edge handle profile intersects back, begin to shape front of handle. Use large gouge and file to shape stock.

Step 21: Completed Front Handle Profile: Continue carving from starting point shown in Step 20 to end of handle. Profile should be slightly convex at starting point, then gradually change to slightly concave at handle end.

Step 22: Scribe Line for Right Edge Outside Bevel & Begin Shaping: Referring to above photo and photo shown in Step 23, scribe line (see arrow) for outside bevel. Photo shows some of bevel starting to be shaped with straight chisel.

Step 26: Front of Handle Ready for Shaping: Clamp mirror in vise so that front of handle can be shaped.

Step 30: Hollow Out Back: Area between contour lines on back is hollowed out with gouge to form a cove. Ours measures about 'A in. below line at deepest point. Slope cove so that it forms a crisp edge at contour line.

Step 31: Completed Cove: The cove carving is completed. Note that cove becomes a slightly convex surface as it approaches area of the handle.

Step 32: Finish and Install Mirror: Scrape and sand entire mirror. Final sand to 220 grit, then apply several coats of good penetrating oil. Have glass shop cut mirror to fit, then glue in place with silicone sealant.

Step 25: Shape Contour Lines: Using large gouge and a file, shape area between contour tine added in Step 24, and contour line added in Step 8.

Step 23: Bevel Shaping Completed: Continue shaping outside bevel by connecting the two profile lines as shown. Bevel should have a slight convex profile.

Step 24: Scribe Right Edge Contour Line: Referring to above photo, scribe line (see arrow) for right edge contour.

Step 27: Shape Handle: Use file to round over front of handle as shown.

Step 28: Shape Tip: Use block plane to remove most of the stock from mirror tip. Once general shape is roughed out, use file to smooth out.
