72" Custom Vanity | BLEACHING White Oak Before Stain

Hello there,
In todays project we build a custom 72" white oak vanity for our customer.
To get the color/tone they wanted, we needed to bleach the wood first which isn't as hard as you might think.
Hope you enjoy and are able to learn something from the video or show me how I can do better next time!
Hope you have a great day!

great video! we are a custom shop and have a big project with some rift white oak. of course the owners sample is also rift white oak but a very different color than ours so we assume bleaching is involved. did you use a 2 part wood bleach? when you sprayed it on did you then wipe it off?

[@KlassenWoodworks]

Thank you! Ok very nice! Yes, we used a 2 part bleach kit. Forget the name brand but it was designed for wood. When it dries it somehow doesn't need a cleaning after to remove the acidity. Did not wipe it off, it flashes off pretty quickly. Will raise the grain slightly and some of the color from the wood will pool in spots and leave a yellow stain but that sands out easily afterwards. Hope this helps!

Looks great! What brand of drawer slides did you use?

[@KlassenWoodworks]

Thank you! These are BLUM undermount drawer slides.

ty for the video, is that festool sander way better than the dewalt? like can you really tell a difference? enough to justify 250?

[@KlassenWoodworks]

Apologies for the late response. I wouldn't say its way better, but if you spend hours on a sander every week. It'll be worth the investment.
