the combination of cold air on the window, steamy air on the inside will result in a lot of condensation and the wood will not fare well. Its a bad choice for around a sink and worse around a tub...
I can see that being very dangerous with a child standing on the seat and falling towards the mirror.
the wood next to the tub will not fare well at all in very short order
id guess the desk is done since it has all the stuff piled on top of it.
looks more like carpentry then furniture making
no. I plan to use slow setting epoxy for the rocker laminations. I know its waterproof. Plastic resin glue is not waterproof and wont hold up outside
day 9 of the plastic resin glue soak:
4 laminations of 0.2" wide 4 x 12" white oak glued with Dap plastic resin glue and bent in form to cure. Then immersed in a bucket of room temp water and left...
seems like it would get cold next to the window
i believe I saw that at Ikea
day 5 of the plastic resin glue soak:
4 laminations of 0.2" wide 4 x 12" white oak glued with Dap plastic resin glue and bent in form to cure. Then immersed in a bucket of room temp water and left...
its not safe to let a baby play on a swing chair so far above the ground
Slow setting epoxy sounds like the way to go. plastic resin glue just wont hold up in standing water.

works of art. they will be heirlooms if the human race can survive the next 100 years.
thats a wild pattern. It wouldnt blend well in most interiors.
all the theory and conjecture is interesting......but for an outdoor rocker where the rocker laminations could be exposed to standing water the plastic resin glue will fail quickly. I have proven...
its a bunch of clamps....?.....
Weldwood plastic resin glue. It comes in powder and mix in water. You wont find it at typical hardware store like Lowes or HD. Couple of my local lumber yards carry it, Austin and Ganahl.
After a 2nd day immersed in water, the squeeze has started to soften. I can see that it may be considered water resistent, but not suitable for outside furniture especially that may be exposed to...
lol...well, I guess in some parts of the country that might represent the weather.......but I think soaking in a bucket of water should be a extreme representation of chair legs joints or rocker...
I glued up a test with 4 thin laminations of 3 x 12 red oak with Weldwood Plastic Resin glue and set up in jig to cure with a bend radus. I let soak in a bucket of water for 2 days. When removed...
the legs really stand out
