You will need a 5" diameter round mirror for this project. I bought mine at Woodcraft.
Here is the link. You will be cutting a bevel cut to inset the mirror into the frame. I used 1/2" thick walnut. You need to test your bevel cuts on the same wood to get a 1/8" depth of the inset. Depending on the blade you use it will be around 10 degrees.
I slightly changed the pattern after I cut the one in the picture to make the handle stronger where it meets the fretwork.
