Wood Panels and Cast-Iron Tub for Master Bath Video

Nick Beasley shows Bob the custom poplar and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) panels he has made for the tub wall in his new master bath. He installs the panel, which has already been scribed for a tight fit. He tacks the panel in place for now, waiting until the Corian tub surround is installed to make the final installation. The tub is already in place, a Porcher cast-iron model from American Standard. There will be a Corian tub deck and top shelf installed, and a new toilet once the bathroom is complete.
