In this build video, I'll show you how I made a custom credenza which features inlays, curved cabinets, Japanese Asanoha mesh, sliding doors, and more. This was my entry for the Grizzly Maker Challenge 2026. It's made from white oak and black walnut hardwood with maple used for the inlays and mesh.
