Unlike many traditional credenzas that maintain a simple rectangular profile, the maker presents a unique approach with this Mid Century Modern Inspired piece. The unit features an inverted trapezoidal cabinet supported by a base of four tapered, splayed legs, which immediately sets it apart from conventional designs. The entire console is crafted from dark hardwood, showcasing appealing natural grain patterns across its walnut construction.
The assembly process reveals careful attention to geometry. The cabinet body incorporates angled outer side panels that taper inward from top to bottom. The structure is supported by a separate wooden leg assembly featuring crossed stretchers. Solid walnut lumber forms the face frame, which is glued directly to the walnut-veneered plywood panels that constitute the carcass.
On the left side, the cabinet contains two stacked drawers, each featuring an integrated rectangular cutout on the top edge serving as a pull. The right side offers an open shelving section divided into two horizontal compartments. The makers’ detailed work required the use of a Wixey digital angle gauge to cut beveled edges at 37.5 degrees.
While the maker considers this his best project to date, one open question remains regarding the overall scope of the build; the maker indicates the process took approximately 35 hours, excluding time spent on camera work. This substantial time investment suggests a high level of dedication to achieving this specific aesthetic and utility balance.
