My first Wagler Workshop project

This piece was my first project for Wagler Workshop. It was a bit of a beast to start with. This thing is not heavy after all. We also wanted to fit as many features as possible. There are adjustable shelves below. Gliding easy close sliders for the drawers. The hanging system for the glasses is a fine touch, butt here's also a roll out tray for prepping.

Beyond the features is simply the look of the Black Walnut itself. There's a reason this species is sought after by woodworkers and their customers. I was sure to source this Black Walnut from a local mill, and I couldn't be happier with the result. The colour speaks for itself. I've always wanted to do another similar piece.

If you love food, love your kitchen, or love someone who does, then one of these are for you. I usually focus on selling these things at craft shows and the like, but I almost always have a dozen or so available.

Built-in Cabinets

I installed this job and wanted to show it off. The mantel and the doors really pop with thise Ambrosia Maple grains.

And... I'm back!

Welcome to my new blog! I'm not much of a writer, but here I am anyway. Who ever heard of a woodworking blog anyway? But I feel like I almost disappeared for a while there. I hope to give a bit of an explanation for that, but mostly I wanna say, "I'm here!" I'm ready to take on your projects and get things done. COVID has been a long haul for many of us, and I'm certainly not excluded. We've had kids home from school, and all of us home sick, not to mention a career change to woodworking. Maybe not the best timing now that I think about it. Looking back in this time I can't help but notice that I've had the great privilege of being in surgery four times since COVID started. Early on I had both of my wrists done to fix Carpel Tunnel. I would love to say that it's fun having someone cut into your hand and promise that they're doing it carefully. Turns out, tt certainly wasn't my favourite experience. But I certainly don't miss the co...
