Project Information
This credenza is the companion piece to a custom desk that I built. Both of them are decorated with a parquetry pattern in maple and ribbon mahogany. The parquetry was done as Boule work. With this technique all of the parts are cut in stacks of alternating veneers and give you two color patterns - one with a dark background and light circles and the other with a light background and dark circles. I wrote two articles on my Furniture Blog about the techniques involved in building these pieces, one on the desk and the other about the credenza.
