I wish id spent a bit more time on it, as the inside looks rubbish :( Live and learn as they say.

remus,

What looks rubbish about it? I think it is really great! The inside shows the grain pattern well.

apply 1+ hours of elbow grease and sandpaper and it will look stunning :-)

I think it looks alright but forget the file. Get some sandpaper and get busy. You can work it while watching the telly or something. I imagine it would be a fairly delicate piece considering the short grain. A drum sander might grab it and break it.
Inspecting mirrors is a job I could easily see myself doing.
