onething 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 I'm looking for someone to build a custom bathroom vanity. We've sourced designs and are looking at solid hardwood drawer fronts, blum soft close hardware and a travertine top. We've got rough specs and images. Anyone know of a carpenter who can do furniture grade cabinetry at a competitive price? I'd prefer someone you've worked with already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snoozee 98 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 you are looking at 2 different trades here. supply of carpentry work and supply of travertine marble. carpenters are much easier to find compared to that "perfect" piece of marble. so maybe you should look at marble slab sellers first then ask them if they have contacts for carpenters to do up your vanity unit.

onething 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2020 not a bad way to go. we've done a lot of stone over the years. we have some stone contacts that we thought we could bring in after we built the cabinetry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joanie 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2020 Setting the stone first is a better idea than setting the carpentry first. Stone are difficult to size for minor adjustments compared to the wood. The finishing will also be better if the marble is set up first than the wood. Just 2 cents based on experience. _________ hod9 - my life, my project Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaunling 5 Report post Posted August 6 For a custom solid wood vanity, you might want to reach out to local carpenters who specialize in furniture-grade cabinetry. Many members on RenoTalk have recommended carpenters who can handle solid hardwood and high-quality finishes. Additionally, ensure the carpenter is familiar with Blum soft-close hardware and has experience working with stone tops like travertine. Browsing through the Carpentry Works section or consulting the RenoTalk professionals directory can help you find the right fit for your project. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
