Mirrors 2025

Our carved mirrors started with a practical need. We wanted a full-length mirror in our tent so visitors could see themselves trying on our handmade garments. Rather than use an ordinary store-bought mirror, I decided to carve a wooden frame for ours. It seemed like a very Timber Posse thing to do.

At the very first show where we displayed it, a young woman walking past our tent stopped in her tracks, turned to her boyfriend, and declared that she wanted that mirror. Until that moment, we hadn’t even considered making them for sale. That encounter changed our minds.

Each frame features its own carved imagery across the top, with accompanying designs flowing down the sides. The subjects vary, and no two frames are quite alike.

There’s a practical side to them, too. The carved frames are designed to fit inexpensive, standard full-length door mirrors sold at Walmart. If the glass ever breaks, a replacement mirror of the same size can be purchased for around $12 and fitted into the existing frame, allowing the carved woodwork to be enjoyed for years to come.
