Handmade from scratch: walnut sink vanity

Things began here, this was our large piece of walnut laminated plywood.  We tried our hardest to keep those sweet hearts incorporated into the main body of the exterior pieces of the vanity.  We also continually measured the sink purchased from the Restore to be sure that we would have enough material.

AB routed the edges with some special bits to accomplish really nice edges using walnut trim. 

Finished routed edge awaiting walnut trim piece.  There are several photos left out that don't show the work sanding, planing and finally finishing the vanity.  The finishing took by far the longest to complete, partially because it was rainy and partially because it just takes time.

Once finally in place, we worked carefully to get the vanity level.  This took a couple of shims to accomplish but worth the extra time for making everything even.  We ended up having to trim out a portion of the back to fit over our tile edging to accomplish true level.

If we ever sell the house and someone else rips out our vanity they will see our calling card.

Before

After :  Let it be known that the drawers were also custom made in order to fit neatly around the plumbing.  The bottom drawer is the only full drawer.  The first and the second have compartments that help divide our items and that fit around the pipes.  We used medium duty drawer slides that help close with ease and we opted to use three different sizes of handles to create a cool visual effect.
