Can a wooden sink actually hold water?
Each vessel sink is carved from a single piece of dense teak and sealed inside and out with a waterproof marine-grade finish made for daily running water — the same category of protection that keeps boat decks watertight for decades.
What sizes work with my counter?
Diameters and depths are made to order within plumbing-standard limits. Tell us your counter depth and faucet reach, and we will confirm a size that splashes less and drains well before we begin.
What does installation require?
Sinks arrive pre-drilled for a standard 1.75-inch drain and sit on any flat counter. A plumber completes the drain fitting; no special parts are needed, and the holes are cut to your fixtures before the sealant goes on.
How do I keep the seal healthy?
Rinse and towel the basin after heavy use, run the fan, and avoid abrasive cleaners. Dark spots on any bath wood are mildew feeding on soap film sitting on the surface, not the wood rotting — a quick wipe prevents them. Reapply the recommended sealer yearly to keep the bowl waterproof.
How is a sink packed?
Every sink is made to order and ships foam-cradled in a rigid double-walled box. Photograph the box before signing if it looks crushed, and tracking arrives by email the day the sink leaves the workshop.
Can you drill the holes to match my faucet and drain?
Yes. This basin measures 14 by 12 inches and stands 5 inches tall. Send your hole measurements with the order — drain position and any faucet or overflow holes — and we drill them to your fixtures before finishing, so it drops straight onto your counter.
