Another thing to consider is that wood is a short term material for use
around water.  Paint it well with enamel or waterproof varnish or even boat
epoxy and set it aside after use (mirrors are usually done in a week or so
and thus the warpage doesn't really get started too much with water
resistant materials) and check it a few months later and you can reuse it
again if it isn't warped but don't plan on it. Fixtures like holding clamps
and pivot pins can be pulled from the wood and reused on the next job.
