Have you thought of going high tech and make it out of ally extrusion ?

The wood could be an Australian timber called Queensland Maple ... which is not actually a Maple.
It does resemble the grain and colour, but cameras & screens are not accurate.
Or it could be a lot of other spp ... :lol:
Helpful eh... :thumbup:

I struggle seeing how to best mount the clock backplate to support the weight of the clock. My intention was to have quite a heavy thick backboard to allow a good fixing point.

You wouldn't drill it, it is much easier to get the glazier whom you get the mirror off to drill it, they have all the right bits and the experience to drill it without cracking it. You'd just need to bring the relevant dimensions for where the holes need to be. I'd get them drilled big enough to allow you to attach the clock mech' directly through to the back so that you are not tightening the clock onto the mirror.
As to the identity of that wood, it looks like a cross between light oak and beech, lets just say it's Boak :D :D
I really dont think it's maple, doesnt maple have a closed grain structure, ie no pores? :scratch:

Its defo not Maple or oak / beech for that matter. Possibly Iroko, does it have an oily feel? But there are a lot of African woods and ones from tropical areas that have a similar looking grain structure.
