Bathroom vanity top

Well I figured I can't show you a piece of timber in one post and not show you what it looks like when worked.

So here is what I did on my first day of school holidays (other than sleep)

Started by sharpening and tuning my hand planes (re-establishing primary bevel, took a while on stones.)...

Started with this piece of timber

Nice work. Reminds me that my jointer is still disassembled - got to get it back together and make some shavings too. Is that going to house a sink or will it be a counter top?

thanks, the sink will sit on top of this, though that remind's me... I probably have to drill a hole for the drain...

More pictures will be coming.

Looking sweet there Cody what kind of wood is that there

All I know is it is a cedar. If anyone can enlighten me on what sort I would appreciate it!

Here are a few more pics. I think I will do a clear epoxy finish.

And here is a door I made a while ago (still needed sanding and painting), and then it turns out it needs an angle on it... so the carpenters started by cutting off a corner completely taking out 2 mortise and tenon joints (weakening the door).

The were planning on screwing and dowelling it :stop:. I couldn't see that done to my work. So I made a big tenon on the length of the board and a matching mortice (though that is probably not the correct naming). They had cut it so the board to be added would be the right size... without the M&T joint. I will need to add some more on...

Roy, if you are reading/viewing this, YES that is pine and mdf and NO I did not get to choose materials :cray:

 

[CodyS]

also note that I didn't have say in the amount of overhang :shout::cray:. It hurt me to cut that 600mm (24") board narrower...
