This credenza is a rebuild of an antique my daughter purchased. It was in bad condition and not much was usable except the inside frame. I dismantled the traced and recut the pieces to original shape. The case is jatoba (Brazilian Cherry), the door fronts are veneered with Myrtle burl. It was a realy fun project. The jatoba was salvaged shipping crates. -- TimV | |||||||

Probably better than the original…even if you don’t say so. “1930” piece?

Beautifull! One day when I grow up I will be able to do work like that!
Would love to see progress pics if you have them.

Shipping crates? Send me some of those! What do I have to order to get shipping crates made of jatoba? You did a great job on this.

I actually have a credenza that looks very similar to that.. The side cabinets look wider, but the legs and struts look the same (sorry for the bad pic, its the only one I could find)
