Recently had an opportunity for some artistic freedom. This is what I came up with.

Bolted supports to top of paralam to pick up canterlever on granite tops ( not shown in picture )

The vision is starting to come together

Since the sink cabinet is canterlevered, we ran the plumbing behind the cabinet to the right, which is an 18" full extension pull out

I build my tall cabinets 26" deep so counter top has a place to die into

To hide the existing white window and frame we made new moldings and trim from matching bamboo

If you look closely, you can see we carried the bamboo crown over the window to tie it all together

Notched back of cabinet and wall so I could install longer undermount guides, so pull out would extend out further

I like to use full extension pull outs above ovens, refers and the upper part of pantry units

Not sure you can see, but we use an adjustable roll out system

Hope you enjoyed viewing this project - It reflects 28 years of home building and 7 years of bamboo cabinet making

Wow! Looks really nice and with Kieth being involved on this, I am sure there are some very nice touches.

Very nice work Richard! What is the countertop?

Looks great Richard. What hardware are you using for your upper box/pantry roll-outs?


Posted By: Richard Goodman     [06/20/2011]
Dan - The material is a granite called Capolovaro with a leather finish. I had never seen a leather finish before and I really liked it. It doesn't have that high polished look ( so it seems much warmer ) plus it has a slight texture to it

Tom - we used a kv 8800 on the bottom and kv 8400 on top for alignment.

What is the backsplash you used? Phenomenal combination with the bamboo!
