Custom Walnut Armory Closet with Pegboard System

Our client is an avid hunter with a large walk-in rifle vault to boast! He came to us with a vision of outfitting the existing steel structure with solid walnut panels. The mission was twofold. To beautify the rifle closet and create a custom and modular pegboard system with shelving, pegs, and rifle stands.

We began with a glue-up of the raw walnut lumber to create a number of boards for CNC cutting and engraving to size. Shoutout to our trusted craftsmen Ryan Murphy!

Walnut madness! Completed custom pegboards with an engraved logo

A few of the panels include a logo engraving into the centre of the walnut pegboard because hey, why not!

The walnut panels were then carefully assembled and installed on-site.

Who’s ready to go huntin’?

Custom acrylic holders can be placed anywhere along the pegboard system

1” plexiglass shelves will be placed on top of the pegboards and hold additional items

The bottom shelf walnut panels include a recessed area for the rifle’s butt placement. We designed and fabricated custom rifle stands from 1” thick acrylic to create a delightful contrast against the finished walnut boards. They provide a sturdy resting place for all types of crossbows, rifles, and guns. Custom shelves for the walnut pegboards were also made from 1” acrylic accompanied by 3/4” acrylic pegs cut to various lengths between 2” to 6” to hold them.

Game on! The end result is a configurable and sophisticated storage system that softens the steel exterior.
