Nakashima Inspired Walnut Credenza
Nakashima inspired walnot credenza with bookmatched top and hand cut dovetails
After visiting George Nakashima’s studio and workshops in New Hope PA, I decided to undertake my most challenging project to date; a Nakashima inspired walnut credenza. I purchased rough 8/4 walnut lumber and cut sections for the side and top, then ripping each down on my bandsaw and then gluing them up to form a continuous bookmatch on the sides and top. I hand cut dovetails on all four corners and created bookmatched sliding door panels as well. The casework sits on top of a small base with splayed legs.

I particulary like the match of the top and the sides out of the same boards. Beautiful!
