Walnut Roubo WorkbenchHi, this is my recently completed walnut roubo workbench. I didn't originally plan on making a workbench out of such extravagant wood, but i got lucky. I happened across a craigslist post for a few old walnut beams. When I went out to see them they were in pretty rough condition, having sat outside under tin for a few decades. I took a chance and in the end they cleaned up well and for a price less than what i'd spend on a comparable ash or maple bench. I did have to epoxy a few major checks and dig out enough nails and lag screws to build a small treehouse but that was part of the fun.

I made wooden toys for his father (my nephew) when he was a kid, so I thought I'd revive the tradition. Primarily made of 1/2” alder, with a mahogany cab, padouk wheels and a dozen 2” birch blocks. The truck is finished with Deft Semi-Gloss lacquer. The blocks with General Finishes Wood Bowl Finish.

All but one of these were commissioned for me to make for someone. The collaboration process is kind of fun. I welcome all constructive feedback y'all can give, as I'm always trying to improve on things.
