    Teak Bath caddy

    My buddies wife is pregnant, taken to enjoying her time as a human submarine. I figured I could make her pregnancy just a little easier. Teak bath caddy. Mortise and tenon construction, finished in odies super penetrating oil. Pretty happy with how it all came out.

    It looks very nice, make double sure she knows it cannot be used for sitting or leaning upon!!!

    Holy cannoli, teak! Must be a very good friend. Sure looks nice. I'm sure the recipient appreciates it every time it gets used.

    Beautifully crafted and results! Like Lee, I would let them know it's not for sitting!

    Hey Justin, beautiful thing. I dare not open this thread in front of my wife because she would want one. For the four "feet" that rest on the tub walls, did you glue those on or cut the shape out of a wider plank? I think I see a color change on the two front corners- very minor color change. That is why I am not sure and am asking.

    They were additional glued on pieces. Teak is a little pricey to be wasting too much. Thankfully the stock was a nice uniform color.

    oh yeah, it's certainly real teak. The growth rings are super tight too, as opposed to the plantation teak we see a lot nowadays. We're very lucky in Alberta to have WG Chanin hardwoods, Gary has a pretty incredible selection of stock.

    Im not a particular authority on it, but in my experience you don't need to finish it at all if you don't want to but oil will prevent it from discoloring.
