Black Walnut Kitchen Cabinets

Nice work. And welcome to LJs.

-- Still trying to master kindling making

The only thing you could have done more would be to have planted the trees 8^)

How long did you dry the slabs (air dry, kiln?). How many board feet did you get out of that load?

Walnut always makes a statement, excellent cabinets!

I’ve always said you can never go wrong with black walnut. Those are wonderful cabinets. I’m so jealous, I can’t get my black walnut trees in Iowa.

Nicely done. The live edge bar is a tasteful match to the rest of your work. Walnut is a great wood, and getting to harvest it yourself doubles the pleasure of working with it. Did you mill it yourself as well?

I had the entire batch kiln dried and ended up with roughly 2000bf. Thanks for the comment.

Wow very impressive. Just out of curiosity. How many board feet did it take ? Did you go all solid or mix in ply as well ? I always wanted to do my kitchen this way.

Great build – tree to finish is a good feat to be proud of. You can never go wrong with black walnut IMHO.

But….ummm….me thinks you are better wth building than installing – unless maybe you were standing on your head taking pictures. :-)

Seriously – great job.

Very impressive.

-- Without the wood, it's just working

Something very satisfying about going fro tree to finished product.

The building supply had a bunch of black walnut, for 15$ a board foot, I had to search to find a usable 4 ft piece.
Most of it would be Ok for a dog house. You got allot of first class wood, to make a set of fantastic cabinets.
