Sapele Cane Media Cabinet
The problem was practical: routers, speakers, and all the tech that modern living requires, housed cleanly, without turning a wall into a tangle of overheating equipment. Cane panel doors were the obvious solution. They look intentional, let sound pass through cleanly, keep wifi signals unobstructed, and allow airflow so nothing runs hot. Form and function landing in the same place.
The cabinet was sized to fit a half wall, built to the exact footprint of the space rather than forced to compromise around it. That's the whole point of custom.
Sapele was the right wood for this house. Portland's older homes — the Tudors and Craftsmans built through the teens and 19030s were often finished in mahogany. Sapele is its more sustainable cousin: same rich ribbon grain, same warm reddish tone, same feel in an older room. It belongs here in a way that walnut or oak simply wouldn't.
