This is a pair of 60″ vanities I recently finished. They are made from rift sawn white oak and feature reeded doors with beaded molding. The drawer boxes are solid maple with self-close, full-extension, under-mount drawer guides. The door hinges are soft close. I worked with my client through five revisions of the design and it was fascinating to see how the design developed and improved with subtle changes from one version to the next. The cabinets will be finished by another and after that, I will install them in my client’s newly remodeled home
Easily the most challenging doors I’ve built! There were many steps in the process of making these doors and each one had to be done with a high degree of accuracy. Rift sawn white oak was first resawn into 3 1/4″ wide x 5/16″ thick strips. These were then laminated to form a sandwich with 1/4″ MDF in the center. The strips were then cut to exactly 3″ wide and run through my molding machine to profile the reeding. Lastly, the strips were glued together into a panel, cut to size and the beaded molding applied.
A very challenging build and incredibly satisfying to see the completed vanities.
