    Walnut credenza

    I was aiming for a mid-century modern look, but I made it up as I went along and did my best to turn mistakes into opportunities. I'm sick of edging plywood now

    Absolutely outstanding! Love the effects of bookmatching.

    Very nice! I like that there's a little more heft to the legs than what you might typically find on some of those related 50's and 60's era pieces.

    Thanks. We're always dragging furniture around, so I tried to prepare for abuse.

    Thanks again; I really appreciate the kind words! I don't have much in the way of glamour shots at the moment, but I found some pics on my phone:

    That's beautiful, and the doors take it to a whole 'nother level. Clean work is a must on such a simple design and yours looks top notch. Congratulations. I like that coffee table, too.
