New Project


     The photos on the left are the beginnings of two bathroom vanities. They will be in Douglas Fir. What you see are the cabinet interiors made of pre-finished maple plywood from Columbia Products. In recent years they have used soy based glues, nearly eliminating the formaldehyde hit that I used to get from just fabricating with plywood. Some years ago I tried using a Chinese made ply with a similar look, but the veneers did not adhere well and the formaldehyde levels were off the charts. The cost was about half  that of the domestic product per sheet, but the health and aesthetic considerations out weighed the monetary one.
 The face of these Bath room vanities will be from vertical grain doug fir. Here shown is the bulk of the face frame and drawer stock. Next I will mill the rough cut stock to size.
