New vanity and medicine cabinet. Many pictures.

[Alex Elias]

Thanks to all of you for the feedback on previous questions I had about this project. Here it is 99% done. I need to finish the trim for the Medicine cabinet, baseboard, a mirror and new lights and few minor details here and there.
Thanks for looking.
Welcome all comments good bad and ugly :D

Looks great! I like the rich color and inset doors. Congrats!

[Jay Brewer]

Great job Alex, the cabinet, fixtures counter top go very well together.

[Dave Malen]

Love the grain (burl on the door panels) The inset doors are a nice touch. I know they are difficult to install.

Very nice work!

Very nice. If I end up having to build a medicine cabinet for my bath, this gives me some ideas.

Alex,

Something to be quite proud of.:cool: How about sharing some of the particulars? Material, stain, top coat, hinges, etc. Was this your own design?

The doors are figured maple and you are right about being difficult to install. First time doing this type of door raised panel and inset. The good thing is that I like the result and from here I just get better at them. I hope

I used maple for the whole thing. Solid fro the face frame and door also for the Medicine cabi. The box of the vanity and the shelf are maple ply.
The stain was water based stain from Lee Valley I mixed 2 different ones with destiled water and went at it. Pre Raised the grain first and then stain it. After the color was done, I gave it 2 coats of dewaxed shellac (the can from Lowes) and 6 coats of wipe on poly with tung oil (50/50) and thinned down with mineral spirits. The hardware was from Lee Valley as well.
The construction was straight forward. You can see a few pics here. The drawers are false fronts and I made a bid arround them to create some depth and shadows.

Thansk to all for your king comments
Regards,
Alex
