MILK PAINT MORTISE CREDENZA

After finding an interesting offcut with a housed mortise we resawed it into five pieces and let it air-dry for nearly two years.  The single offcut yielded a uniquely patterned flitch forming the inspiration for this hardware-less sliding door credenza.  The solid pine doors have sliding dovetail battens to help keep them flat and functional in their sliding tracks.  The solid red oak carcase was wire-brushed and then milk painted.  Rather than use a standard plywood back we used reclaimed flooring, giving a nod to traditional shiplapped cabinet construction.  59W x 23.5H x 19.5D
