This project was designed to match the other contemporary pieces I built for their home. I built the wastebasket as a gift. They are both constructed out of natural 4/4 cherry. Satin finish. Mitered up… clean lines… no visible hardware on the sink. I used aluminum to accent the rim of the wastebasket and made a knob from aluminum rod. One of the unseen features is the birch interior support and the steel, triangulated frame I welded for the interior of the base that keeps the piece from warping because it’s only three sided. You could pretty much drive a car over this sink base.

You know I love modern, and this looks great. I see Bisazza tile in the background.
But I have to say: 3 Photos-3! Give us details!

I’ll be posting more pictures when I can. I’m having trouble with the upload feature in the projects portion.

Very nice woodworking. The style doesn’t trip my trigger, but the cherry really pops!
