Local woodworking shop closes after three decades
After almost 34 years at its location in
Keizer, S & W Woodworking, is relocat-
ing and will be out of its Chemawa Road
site by the end of February.
Bruce Waldner, owner of S & W
Woodworking, said he will operate the
business out of a family home and the
company’s trailer.
For more than three decades Waldner
and his son, Doug, have manufactured
cabinets and more. As the elder Walder
said, “If it’s wood, we do it.” The company
not only manufactures cabinets for kitch-
ens and bathrooms, but also does other
work. Doug Waldner is a general con-
tractor who deals in remodels, floors and
finished work.
The business was a beehive of activ-
ity this week as he, employees and others
began packing up tools and thousands of
pieces of work usedin their business.
Bruce Waldner said he thanks all of
his customers over the years, and he had
no choice but to close his Chemawa Road
facility. “It’s not my fault,” he said.
S & W Woodworking can be reached
