I'm in the process of remodeling my bathroom. I was going to build a vanity out of some walnut I've had around but my wife found one she liked and I was on board since it is similar to what I was going to make and is made out of one of my favorite woods; teak. We ordered it, and then I injured my hip (torn labrum), so it sat for 8 months until I felt well enough to dig back into the project.
Tonight we took the vanity out of its box to find that the top 1) doesn't fit due to blocking that was fastened in the wrong place (annoying, but easy enough to fix) and 2) has cracks where some of the boards were glued together. The wood clearly warped after gluing. The vanity was supposed to have a lifetime warranty, but I'm getting the runaround.
I've never worked with teak but I was thinking that I could fix this by cutting apart the top, planing the pieces, jointing the pieces, gluing everything back together and then taking the reassembled product to my local lumber yard so they could put it through their timesaver. Is there a simpler way? Could I just squirt gorilla glue in the cracks, clamp, sand and call it a day?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
