Half-bath vanity

[themachine]

After many requests, I finally got around to making a small vanity to replace the one that came with our house. As you can see, it isn't installed yet but that day too shall come. The frame is cherry, and the top and panels are spalted maple with quite a bit of worminess. The wood came from logs milled off of my neighbor's property. I stained the cherry with a gel stain from General, and the whole piece is spray-coated with pre-catalyzed lacquer. This was a learning piece for me - the second item I have made.

Wow! that piece looks fantastic. great job.

Nice job!

You going to go with a wall mounted faucet? I hear that those are a lot of fun to install.

It's great. I love frame and panel where the panels are made from spalted wood. I like to use spalted wood in box tops also. Good work.

WOW, WOW, WOW! the contrast is beautiful. the spalted maple looks terrific. nice tapered legs. did you taper them on the a jointer or using a TS?

[Popeye]

Very sharp. The cherry and spalted maple really good good together. Pat

The faucet will be mounted off to the side of the sink - I just haven't had the courage to drill another hole in the top yet. And the taper on the legs was acccomplished simply by drawing lines to show the tapers, cutting away close to the line on a bandsaw, and finish sanding on a vertical captive belt sander. It was easier to do I think than setting up a taper jig on a table saw.

That's very nice! Love those panels. Nice proportions too. I'm not a big fan of the clear basins but many people are (my wife included).

You might look at the wall mounted faucets. We've used Kohler's falling water faucet in a couple projects. Pricey, but it's a really neat look.

No more holes in the top either.

That is truely stunning! Very artistic use of such very different woods - ruggedness and elegance combined into a beautiful piece. Let's see, where do you live again?

[crokett]

That is beautiful work. I love the contrasting woods. After seeing that I think I will finally go cull the spalted wood from my firewood pile and see what I can make from it.

[cgallery]

That looks great!

May I ask what joinery was use for construction?

[John Hunter]

Very nice.

[drumpriest]

Very nice indeed, some Krenov in that design.
