Kristi and I had an addition added on to our home, our contractor, Chris of Graves Design and Remodeling was awesome and we are very happy with our new sunroom/ conservatory :). Chris took note of some of my woodworking and when he needed a rush job for 2 custom vanities, he gave me a call. It turns out that due to Covid or perhaps a ship stuck in a canal or any number of crazy factors, the vanities that his client wanted could not be had. Chris sent me some images from web sites of the needed vanities and I went to work.
The Plan: The first vanity needed a reclaimed barn-wood look while the second was to be darker and more modern. I made both from furniture grade plywood and actual walnut or reclaimed barn wood (white oak).

I was able to get some very nice walnut and maple plywood. The maple plywood would later be treated with Varathane Wood Accelerator to get that natural weathered look
