I built this from scratch, including the the wall framing, drywall, cusom mortar shower pan, and the hardwood floor insert. It was 98% complete here.

    Yep. I started with hardwood 1x2’s, cut them to length, sanded them and sealed them with 5 coats of polycrylic sanding between coats. Ive used it before and it penetrates pretty well leaving a very tough finish. Its an experiment though, might not hold up. We will see.

      I’ve seen this type of shower using tropical woods with the appropriate treatment last for a long time.

      Nice project!

          Ha, totally! I guess I’ve seen showers like this one only on beach resorts/houses where tropical wood is probably easier and cheaper to get.
