Media Credenza, Now with More Crotch!

A fun design and a great opportunity to incorporate beautiful walnut grain.

I have been on the hunt for a Media Credenza design for over a year now and nothing really tickled my fancy. That is until I came across a cabinet in Mike Pekovich’s IG feed that he made with a student, Sean Montague. Turns out, the cabinet was inspired by the work of Philip Morley. So in a somewhat convoluted way, all three of these gentlemen had a role in influencing the design of this Media Credenza.

The project features book-matched crotch grain raised panel doors that slide smoothly in shallow grooves. Each compartment has holes and slots for wires and ventilation. While I made the project from 5/4 walnut and the plans reflect that, you should know that standard 4/4 material would suffice. I hope you enjoy.
