Mahogany Bow Front Vanity

Beautiful. Looks right out of victorian England. Is that gold leaf on the posts and edging?

Thanks Daniel. Actually the veneer came from England. The gold is a gold paint with a lacquer finish.

This is a magnificent piece. It came out great. Dan’s right- it looks like it could be a Victorian antique.

Wow, the burled veneers are incredible. Honestly, I wasn’t aware that anyone was doing this sort of work these days.

What an awesome job Jerry, it came out really really nice. Keep up the great work buddy!

I agree with CharlieM… maybe next time you could do something a little more fancy. ;) That’s a great piece of work.

A great start. Now where are you going from here.

I assume the lack of a base in the cabinet is so the wheelchair can get in real close.

Beautiful, thanks for the show. Hot out of the shop, incredible work, great design.

Excellent work, marvelous veneer and very well balanced design and conception.
As a furniture, this work deserves to be exposed in a museum.
By the way, do you also turn/carve the lateral columns?
In Brazil we can’t find that kind of things not even the beautiful golden ornaments you’ve used on it.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing this magnificent piece of art with us.

Unbelievable craftsmanship very well done. Ditto on the museum. Thanks for sharing

Thanks everyone for the comments. Makes me feel good that everyone likes it. Like I said before it was a challenge.

Marco, the turnings come from California and are actually cast from a poly of some sort. The poly will take stain as well as paint. These are what the designer specified.

Karson, you are right. Open the doors and wheel the wheelchair up to the sink.
