Hows about a short [2" +/-] granite backsplash, with the mirror frame sitting on top of that? That would be as close to bullet-proof as you can get.
Can we assume your bath will be top mounted and caulked? That's quite different from positioning boards vertically such that the end grain wicks water off the wet counter top, like a giant straw.Originally Posted by Larry Edgerton
Hey Kent!
I have a Makore vanity top glued up for my bath, I'll send you a picture when its done and one every year to prove it can be done!

I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I have an old quarter sawn white oak dresser I made into a vanity about 25 years ago. finished it with ploy. Has held up great! It does after 25 years of use need to be refinished but I will probly just recoat it with a couple coats of ploy again. (worked for the last 25 years!). We did have a local restaurant that had sinks made entirely out of wood. looked like they had coated them with epoxy. After a couple years use they still looked good. Always wanted to try that!

When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

Sam Maloof's home has a wooden kitchen counter top, even right around the sink.

Did the tile backsplash in the master bath. Tile yesterday, grout today. The glass cutting blade cut the tile like a laser. No chipping at all.
Wood frame for the mirror will be installed probably next week. I have to remake the bottom pieces. Then I'm going to make a light fixture - FLR influenced.
