Reclaimed Wood Vanity

I like the ‘look’ you achieved. Nice project!

Anything with title “Reclaimed” catches my attention.
You did a excellent job on the vanity, especially the hinges.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Impressive…well done!

That is one cool looking vanity. It has big style, and a very comfortable, natural look.
I can’t think of a better use for beautiful reclaimed chestnut.

A very nice looking cabinet. We are building a new house and a few months ago the wife found a nice double sink cabinet made from Hickory at Lowes. And of course several months later, they no longer carry it. I wish someone here sold Hickory (have never found it) and I would follow your lead.

Thanks! This was my first time building cabinets and drawers so it was a great learning experience and challenge. The hinges were definitely the most tedious part of this process, but I had seen them before and knew that was exactly what I wanted on this. Chestnut and Walnut are my favorite woods to work with, so I had salvaged and saved the best for myself!
Search for some local portable band millers Hawaiilad, I have found they can get a hold of all kinds of stuff and may be able to get you what you need.

Great looking vanity cabinet—and great save of some gorgeous chestnut!

Yeah, that house in the last pic is totally haunted. That’s some Scooby Doo looking business right there.

Amazingly nice find, design and finished product.

They turned out awesome- I really like the arched top on the doors. I would like the chance to work with some chestnut some day.

Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! I like the fact that it’s all reclaimed, and all wood. Gives me inspiration for some of my own projects.

This is gorgeous… Well done!
