Square and rectangular frames are great, don’t get me wrong, but an octagon has that extra bit of wow factor. It plays nicely with mirrors, adds visual interest, and is just complicated enough to be a fun challenge.

This full length mirror incorporates a storage drawer and the mirror pivots so you can adjust its position. I used some fun woodworking techniques like rounded miters, stopped dados, and a bunch of other woodworking tricks to achieve the waterfall grain pattern I was looking for.
