custom 3d sink
so here's my newest creation.
made from HDU and hand painted. i used the picture of the famous "grand prismatic" pool in Yellowstone park (just down the road) and created my own custom "erosion" sink.
6 inches thick, sliced to 2 inch layers. ran at 300 ipm with a 1/4"ballnose at 75% stepover for roughing, ran at 300 ipm with a 1/8" ballnose at 18% stepover for finishing. did a bitmap component overlay for texture and details.
air brushed with enamels and coated with a generous layer of gel-coat for durability.
wanted to do something really unique with some usability and this is where my mind led me......

Re: custom 3d sink
That is awesome! First thing my wife said though, "If you make that, I'm not cleaning it!"

Re: custom 3d sink
I don't blame her.... it's more art than function. but we have a lot of people that only live in their house around here for a few weeks to a few months each year. these houses are more for showing off what you can buy, but those are the best paying customers...

Re: custom 3d sink

Re: custom 3d sink
i really like the idea of geyser or mystic falls faucet, would take some figuring for controlling the water while getting the look.
but it sure would be spectacular...
on a slant to that, i've been thinking about trying to sell a water feature based off of the park to one of the local hotels. i imagine coming into the lobby and there is a large re-creation of the mud pot terraces or geyser or hot pool, koi fish optional of course.
