The top is 5/8 plywood edged with poplar and is just set in place for the photo. The splashes are loose and the sink cutout is yet to be done. After installation the top is to get ceramic tile.
The box is constructed of 3/4 birch veneer plywood; the raised panel frames, base and fluting are poplar; and all the raised panels are MDF. Since it was to be painted, I didn’t want the panels moving and breaking the seams. Acrylic caulk was used on all the joints to make it seamless after spraying the vinyl sealer, the surfacer, and water white acrylic lacquer.
Hinges are european style and the knobs are solid brass.
I enjoy making “furniture quality” cabinerty much more than just boxes with doors.

Tom, thanks for the inspiration. This is on my list of things to do and yours looks awesome. Thanks for posting.
Are the corners actually posts? Could you post a picture of the top of the unit without the plywood top on it?

This is the type of meticulous work that I aspire to. I’m at the “plywood boxes with doors” stage. What kind of plans did you work from, if any? Did you start in SketchUp or client desires or pencil on a napkin? I haven’t built anything from plans, always do my own design and as much or more time is spent in the thinking about as the building.
Very nice piece. Here is my next project, still in the SketchUp stage, and seeing your wonderful work is making m rethink the whole thing and I may just aim higher! You’re an inspiration!
