Any woodworkers?

I finished our new cutting board this morning. 2 coats of Walrus Oil and a coat of Walrus Oil Wood Wax.

 

Nice

 

Came out really nice, looks very warm and rich.

 

Nice!

 

I've been a fan of Walrus Oil for years.. the small company has a great small business story too.

 

I’ve been a woodworker for almost 40 years. I’ve done some home building, but the vast majority of my time has been spent in high end custom cabinetry. I also do heirloom type furniture, with some niche side work in concealment furniture and unique custom powder room vanities. Made it through 07-08 and a pandemic. Wonder what’s next?

 

Forgive my ignorance, but what was special about 07-08?

 

I think those where recession years?

 

The epic collapse of the economy and beginning of a recession

 

Hmmm... I must have missed that

 

Taking a nap? Lol.

 

I started another batch of necklaces for church. We have a lot of new people and I'm getting asked for them quite a bit.
This is all scrap from the larger crosses and I just run them thru the drum sander to thin them down.

Next thing is to drill the entrance holes.

I try and use many species of wood for varied colors so people have a choice.

 

Housing market crashed, took the entire economy with it. Government bailouts, banks shutting down.
