On Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:37:40 -0500, the infamous Robatoy
scrawled the following:
I have been playing with some concepts.
The client wanted an oriental look.
I put together a proposal in CAD which gave me my dims and costs.
I found some bamboo pictures and turned one into a bumpmap. I then
created a toolpath and milled some of the bumpmap into some cherry and
built this little vanity. With the quartz top and undermounted porcelain
bowl, it became a nice package. The interior decorator chose the tile
and wall paper/paint scheme.
I got to do the black wash and lacquer.
With some leftovers, I created the mirror.

Ah, the newest look: only 2 legs! (and it can use only 2!)

Now figure out how to make the bump map curved for the bamboo's nodes,
the knuckles.
Very creative, Toy.
I love that goldy-red countertop. Wild! Brand and color?
