Fell a tree in our yard that had been killed by pine beetles. Started to buck it up for firewood when i noticed the blue stains in it. Bucked it up into 8 ft lengths instead and took it out to the mill. The result was some beautiful blue stained lumber. We needed a vanity for the outhouse… yes we have plumbing, but we have a lot of friends that camp at our place during the summer so the wife thought it would be a good idea to have an outhouse (she’s full of good ideas) so thats where it ended up

In your last project you carved a tree, Did an excellent job. I like this vanity but the handles seem to be an afterthought and not part of the design? Maybe two simple carved handles? Hope I would build one as good as this! Sounds like a very comfortable outhouse…. :)

No, I, ok the wife, wanted the old fashioned wrought iron handles. And it fits the theme of the outhouse. I think it a nice contrast to the wood. Ya we kind of went crazy on the biffy, it’s become somewhat of a conversation piece. I will have to post some pics one day. Thanks for your interest. :)

I’ve truly enjoyed working with the beetle-kill pine, sad as it is that it’s happening.
I love the colors and design of your project. Truly excellent !
How did you find the beetle-kill to work with ? For me, it splintered more than I thought it would, and … when there were knots—particularly during planing—they’d chunk out, and leave a BIG hole—ruining the board, more often than knot <grin> !
