Small walnut and zebrawood cabinet

[Jay Aubuchon]

This is a replacement for the medicine cabinet in our powder room. I have just a little touch-up to do before I can hang it.

That is handsome and nice luxury addition. And I've noticed there is a surprising lack of good commercial choices.

Tell us about your finish schedule please.

I finished this with Waterlox Original Sealer/Finish, wiped on with blue shop towels; many very light coats. There is nothing underneath. This is my second small project using Waterlox. I think I could eventually get good at applying it. But I do not enjoy the sometimes-fruitless horsing around to avoid having it go to waste. Maybe that wouldn't seem so annoying on larger projects, where you would use a lot more at once.

I love Waterlox, and use it on both large and small projects. Nice cabinet!

[David Utterback]

Beautiful! Does Waterlox keep long after opening? I rarely go through finish quickly and much is wasted. Thanks

Jay, that is a beautiful replacement for a medicine cabinet. Really ups the game for the rest of the bathroom fixtures :). The strap-like hinges are interesting and add an attractive design detail. Can you point me to a source?

[Jay Aubuchon]

Thanks! Those hinges came from House of Antique Hardware (http://www.houseofantiquehardware.com/surface-hinge-art-deco-brass?sc=11&category=105), the satin nickel finish.

You are right about the rest of the furnishings. We've already upgraded the vanity top, faucet, and the toilet. Sometime this year, I will be making a mirror and a vanity with the same woods. I guess that leaves the light fixture ...

This is my first experience with Waterlox. I decanted the quart into 4-ounce jars. I filled them just short of overflowing, topped them off with drops of mineral spirits until they did overflow, and sealed them up tight. I found this suggestion in a thread here, but I am too lazy to find that thread again right now.

Okay, here's that thread (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?223011-Bloxygen-is-really-great-stuff-and-saves-me-money).

Great idea!. This will prevent my prior need to purchase new finish with each project. Thanks!
