Each vanity begins as a trunk section pulled for sound structure and honest figure, then dried the slow way — twenty days in a controlled kiln, so the moisture is out before any bathroom adds its own. Teak's oils and silica do half the sealing; the artisan's five grits and sealer coats do the rest. In a daily-use bath, the sealer wants renewing once a year.
Bathrooms are rooms of cold surfaces — tile, porcelain, chrome — and wood is the one material that stays warm to the touch, which is why steam rooms and spa benches have run on teak for decades. Every morning your hands land on real grain instead of laminate, and the smallest room in the house becomes the one you quietly like showing.
