Artesano furniture by Steve Bowkett
Some of my new work available for purchase
This 2 door Bathroom Vanity cabinet is made with a
combination of NZ native Purriri used for the legs and top ,
Myrtle veneers for the doors and plywood interiors. Inside it
has swing-out drawers of elm. It is shown with one of my
natural carved stone basins. The feet compliment the basin
with cut beach stone. I have finished it in two-pot urethane to
resist water.

charge within the North Island.
