This is a wall unit I built for my house. Of course I followed our distressed rustic western taste of furniture. It’s built out of yellow pine ply (A1) and yellow pine solid stock. I milled all the moldings including the crown on my router table. Also the doors are rail and stile, recessed panel, also milled on the router table. To do the cowhide, I contact cemented the cowhide onto my recessed panels before the door assembly and made the panel dado into a rabbit and mounted the panels like you would a glass door (just in case the cowhide didn’t hold up, I could change it out easier, at a later date). The center section was pocket doors to hide the TV. Well then I got a bigger TV and had to get rid of those pocket doors. The bottom outside cabinets have pullouts for cd’s, dvd’s and vhs tapes. Thanks for checkin it out. Bob

Great western style. I really like furniture that incorporates leather into the design.
