Hey, this looks nice, great kitchen/bath module. How did you seal the plywood in the shower, just lots of clear coat? Or is this an epoxy layer? Thanks.

Fiberglass and epoxy like a boat. The wood backing is 1.5 millimeter 3 layer mahogany plywood.

Laminate countertop and mahogany veneer plywood in the same project is wild. I assume these were the materials available? :)

The shower is my effort to get away from tile which I find cold to the touch. I also wanted to minimize seams and corners. I have always liked white formica countertops. The only drawback is the it's ability to absorb heat. I don't like the cloudiness of corian.

The 2.0 kitchen countertops will be made of white oak planks like a farm table top. This will be more durable than the formica.
