IMG_0970.JPGShow side panels67 viewsThis is the exposed end side. These raised panels are knotty alder, but darker than usual. I'm trying to use alder of the same hue for the drawer fronts, but have not yet cut them. I hope they match.TRexF16

IMG_0981.JPGFace Frame back101 viewsThis was a pallet runner. You can see the old nail holes where I ripped right through the empty holes. Nice tanin reaction of the oak. I think there was a jet engine or other big compenent shipped to my Air National Guard unit on the original pallet. Check out the front view to see how dramatic it looks when carefully cut to show the rays.TRexF16

IMG_0975.JPGLeft side frame preview99 viewsWild QSWO ray patterns here. This was a tar-soaked timber used to space heavy sewer pipes apart in shipping. I liberated this one after it had served its purpose in a big infrastructure project on the Guard Base.TRexF16

IMG_0996~0.JPGSink installed65 viewsThis is an old but sound cast iron enamled sink my contractor gave me. It was lying around gathering grime at his place, but cleaned up very nicely. I wanted a one-hand operation plus a spray nozzle, and settled on this unit from the Borg. I would have loved something older styled but passed on investing the coin in the fancier stuff.TRexF16

IMG_0992~0.JPGView minus doors and drawers92 viewsOriginal plan was to be symetrical and centered on the window, but the reclaimed timbers I used were long enough to add a foot to the left and add a nice old vise so it is a true Galoot sink.TRexF16
