July 2008 lost the main floor of my house due to a sewer line colapse. 90 days later I finally worked out an agreement with the insurance company and was able to start work on relocating my kitchen from the north side of my house to the south and taking advantage of a much better layout. With my dad’s help and the two of us only working at it on weekends, we completed this project over a 4 month period.
The design and layout was created by myself. I also had to do the all of rough carpentry framing, drywalling, plumbing, rock work on the fire place and some of the electrical.
The kitchen itself is made out of solid Bubinga and Fur plywood. Each piece has with at least three coats of hand rubbed clear Natural Watco Stain and 5 to 8 coats of wipe on poly with a sanding & tacking between each coat which was also entirely done by hand.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Awesome. Bubinga is one of my favorite woods. The best part of doing it yourself you can spend more on materials. Nice work, thanks for sharing

WOW. I love the bubinga. Where did you get it at? The only bubinga I have found is listed at 12/4 and below. I have never found any 4/4 material.

You guys did a beautiful job! Unique and elegant! It will be admired for many, many years.
I see you’re either a very shy guy or you mistook the exhaust hood for a lamp shade . . . Watch out for that Left/Rear burner!
