The counter keeps its live edge — the line the tree drew, kept by the builder who pulled the board. No two counters share an outline, so yours will not match the photo; that is the receipt of a one-of-one. The teak is sanded through five grits and oiled by hand until it is ready to live over running water.
Bathrooms run cold — tile, porcelain, chrome, nothing that warms to a hand. This is the wood commercial steam rooms trust in conditions wetter than any home bath, hung at basin height so the floor below stays clear. Guests come out asking about the edge that is not straight, and you get to answer: a tree decided that.
