WalzCraft Celebrates MFG Day

Manufacturing Day 2021

October is Manufacturing Month, and the first Friday of the month is Manufacturing Day. MFG Day promotes modern manufacturing and the importance it has on local, national, and global economies. As a manufacturer, WalzCraft is proud to provide jobs in the La Crosse community and build high-quality products.

This year, MFG Day landed on October 3rd, 2025. To celebrate, WalzCraft provided custom t-shirts to our dedicated Team Members to thank them for their hard work. The celebration continued with a company-wide catered lunch. 

We are grateful for all of our Team Members and would like to thank them for making our products Something Special from Wisconsin™.

Manufacturing Mania 2025

WalzCraft Plant Tour

Career Exploration at WalzCraft

On August 21–22, 2025, WalzCraft welcomed two energetic groups of students to our facility as part of Western Technical College’s Manufacturing Mania summer program. This hands-on event offered middle school students (Grade 7-9) the opportunity to explore careers in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and engineering technologies, while getting a behind-the-scenes look at real production environments.

Led by WTC instructors in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and agricultural business, the students toured our manufacturing operations and learned how custom cabinet components are made—from concept to completion. The visit gave students a glimpse into the technical skills, creativity, and teamwork required in today’s modern manufacturing jobs.

The program is designed to immerse middle school-aged children in all of the options that junior colleges have to support local manufacturers, and to connect students with the necessary skills in a real work environment. We were proud to participate in this program, helping young minds explore rewarding careers in manufacturing while encouraging curiosity, innovation, and hands-on problem-solving.

AWFS Fair 2025 Recap

AWFS Fair 2023 Booth

WalzCraft proudly stood out as the only custom cabinet door manufacturer exhibiting among 500 companies at the AWFS Fair 2025 in Las Vegas.

Held every two years, the Association of Woodworking & Furnishing Suppliers (AWFS) Fair is one of the largest events in the woodworking industry. This year’s theme, “Thrive in 2025,” focused on innovation, education, and growth for cabinetmakers, woodworkers, and industry professionals.

Booth Highlights

Our booth drew attention from woodworking professionals nationwide—many discovering WalzCraft for the first time. Several mentioned they recognized our brand from magazine ads, proving that consistent industry marketing makes a lasting impression.

Our Nexus-style cabinet doors were a major draw. Attendees shared how they had tried to replicate the style in-house but found that outsourcing to WalzCraft was the most reliable way to achieve the quality and detail they wanted.

We also featured our new Tinted Natural Finish on Select Grade Red Oak, which impressed visitors looking for a more accessible alternative to White Oak. This finish delivers a similar look while helping customers avoid the rising costs and limited supply of White Oak.

Representing WalzCraft

Our knowledgeable team was on hand to answer questions, share samples, and connect with both new and longtime customers. Across the board, attendees had great things to say about WalzCraft’s product quality, customer service, and reliability.

It was a proud moment for everyone representing WalzCraft, and a great reminder of the strong team we have at our facility in La Crosse, WI.

New Tinted Natural Finish for Red Oak

Tinted Natural on Red Oak

WalzCraft is excited to announce our new Tinted Natural (TN) Finish, specially developed for Select Grade Red Oak. This unique finish features a custom-tinted sealer and clear top coat that helps minimize the red and pink undertones found in Red Oak, giving it a lighter, more neutral look—similar to White Oak.

As White Oak becomes more difficult to source, our Tinted Natural finish provides an excellent alternative without compromising on appearance or quality.

Oak-Red - Natural / Clear Coat

To help showcase this finish, we’ve added three new Signature Series door and drawer front designs:

Trenton Oak Slim Shaker Door
S1030 Trenton
Tribute Red Oak Shaker Door
S1031 Tribute
Contempo Oak Slab Door
S1032 Contempo

These designs highlight the natural beauty and versatility of the Tinted Natural finish, offering new inspiration for your custom projects.

Tinted Natural is available on:

  • Oak – Red (Select/Premium Grade)
  • Oak – Red – Quarter Sawn (Select/Premium Grade)
  • Oak – Red – Rift Sawn (Select/Premium Grade)

Color Samples

WalzCraft does not stock color block samples in this wood species and color combination. However, you may order an individual Wood Species Sample / Non-Inventory Color Block.

Disclaimer for Color

Actual product color and detail may vary due to individual computer preferences and monitor settings. We highly recommend ordering an actual product sample of the species and stain color to eliminate any confusion.

Please contact our Customer Support Team to place your order.

Build My Future 2025: Driftless Area

A Day of Discovery: Students Explore the Trades

President John F. Kennedy said, “Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” He was right, the same rings true today, and with the rising cost of post-secondary education, it benefits area high school youth to be exposed to different career paths available to them. Build My Future is an annual event executed by the La Crosse Area Builders’ Association at the Onalaska Omni Center, and WalzCraft is a proud participant in all three years the event has taken place.

The WalzCraft Team helped students build mini mitered cabinet doors that resembled a frame with an inspirational quote. The event hosted over 1,000 students from area high schools, and students also got to sign up for a Milwaukee Tool Set giveaway!

Thank you to all of our Team Members who made this event a success!
