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.

    Looks amazing! I love the wooden floor.

    Would you recommend this project to a relative novice? I have this dream of adding a shower to our half bath.

    Beautiful! I’m curious, how much carpentry and plumbing experience do you have? Looks like a pro job from 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!
