Finishing up downstairs bathroom

Now that the windows are in and sealed we took a slight detour on working on the trim and worked on finishing up the downstairs bathroom. We had built a plywood temporary sink unit in there until the real one could be designed and built. Last week we finished up the design shown in the picture below.
  

The unit is going to be built of fir and just  urethaned so it is a little slower going and harder to work than the usual popular. Here is a picture of the front panel of the unit getting glued up and pocket screwed.
 And the doors getting built up. The center panel in the door is a 1/4" veneer grade fir plywood.
Here is the bottom of the unit. It is cabinet grade plywood with edges of fir. It is a little hard to tell but the fir is routed into a large bead profile along the whole edge.
The front panel around the doors gets a bead detail glued in place.
The front panel gets glued to the two sides and the bottom gets screwed in place
The top of the unit is cut to allow the bowl of the sink to fall into place. Here you can see a dryfit of the sink on top of the unit.
 The unit is put in place and the profile of the wall was marked on the back.
 Here is the profile of where the baseboard is interfaced after being cut. 

Kristen put the first coat of urethane on the unit and doors. The doors have to be fit and hinges installed then it will be complete.
