master bath

Wonderful looking bath. Very regal looking.
Is that birch with a stain and glaze?
How many hours do you have in a job like that??

Thanks for posting

-- MISSION FURNITURE-My mission is to build furniture

This is Alder with a stain and glaze. It’s also very heavily distressed. It’s hard to say how many hours I have into this because it is a small part of the entire house that we did. I may post pics of the rest of the house. I am not sure if posting this type of work is to acceptable just because it’s the consensus to post furniture and other smaller projects. This is more “businessy” in my opinion and strays off of the point of this site. But, I saw some other projects that were cabinetry and thought I’d share one. I have many more if it’s not a problem to anyone.
Thanks for the comment

Some people just have too much money. What a bath it is bigger than my house. I think of cabinetry as woodworking. It would also post at homerefurbers too.

I’m in awe….The only criticism I might have on this project is quit making the rest of us look mediocre

Very nice woodworking and installation.

However, I think the finish is a tad “Pier 1”, over the top. The digital photographic process may certainly be influencing my view. Not that I wouldn’t do the same if it were spec’d and paid for. It seems that so many designers nowadays want either 15 layers of spray-painted stains like a Chinese Thomasville factory, or the high gloss melamine flat panel look so popular in Fairfield County, CT these days.

I might be spoiled, as I’ve seen the authentic 100’s of years old thing in Europe, and finishes by folks like Pete Gedrys, where the product starts with mahogany, cherry or walnut, and kind of leans on the color vs. a total change.

It would have been nice to see in cherry with an antiqued and tinted clear finish.

It is your level of craftmanship that I love to look at because it inspires me to become better. There are some very talented people this site that do awesome work. Thank you for posting your work.

Another great job.

It looks like you are just hand planning or scrapping in a hit and miss fashion though, correct me if I’m wrong. But wouldn’t it look better to hand plane the entire surface and hand sand it and blend it all in a little better. Just a thought. And maybe add a little planking to the panels.

Les, are you talking about the flatness of the panels? The panels were completely flat and sanded smoother then a babies butt. Then the customer said make it distressed to the extreme. I looked at my door and thought “well, what a waist of time making these perfect that was”. It made me cringe.

Wow! that is an awsome looking bathroom

-- Glenn, New Mexico

Fantastic details! Thanks for posting.

I agree that it is distressing to see the distressing.

-- Rich, Seattle, WA

distressing wood can be a distressing occupation. Love the look even if it is ‘too the max’

Great job!

Thanks for the post
