I've seen some very modern kitchen sinks that look like they are made of solid wood. Is that actually possible?
user
Yes, it is possible to have sinks made from solid wood, although they are less common and require special care to prevent water damage and warping. These sinks are often designed with a water-resistant sealant or finish to protect the wood. They can add a unique and natural look to a modern kitchen. However, they are not as durable or low-maintenance as other materials like stainless steel or porcelain.

can wood sinks be used in a bathroom, or are they only for kitchens?
user
Wood sinks can be used in both kitchens and bathrooms, though they are more commonly found in bathrooms due to their decorative and aesthetic appeal. In bathrooms, wood sinks can be part of a vanity or standalone basin and are often designed to enhance the natural or rustic feel of the space. Like kitchen wood sinks, they need to be properly sealed and cared for to prevent water damage and ensure longevity.
