Follow up to previous post. Couldn’t save any of the mirror. It was very rigidly affixed to the partition. 38 pieces of double stick tape and a bunch of construction adhesive. I think if it had been mounted to “float” with L clips it could take some flexing. Anyhow had to rip out the luan that mirror was fixed to. No saving it. This shows the construction methods of the partition. Imagine a picture frame made out of 1” square wood. 1/8” luan affixed to both sides. That’s it. Numerous screws sticking thru within from mounted the shirt closet over the drivers side bed(2552). I ripped 2/4 to 1” and added a few extra full length strips to reinforce what was there. Found a nice sheet of thin birch plywood and fashioned a new panel. Different species of wood take stain differently. We have a cherry interior and I found that red chestnut stain on birch is about as close as you can get to matching the real cherry cabinetry. So 4 coats of stain some sanding and 2 coats of Polly and I’m good to go.
