Knife block

By brucem26, member Jan 07, 2013

After giving our son a set of Henckels kitchen knives for Christmas, the obvious question was “where am I going to store them Dad?”

This block holds 5 knives plus a sharpening steel. Maple & Walnut with Mahogany and Bllodwood inserts. I think he likes it!

Finish is 5 coats of semi-gloss lacquer.

Definitely a great application of practical and beautiful at the same time. VERY Well done.

I was thinking of doing something like this for my son this year for Christmas. I love the fact that it is not the plain jane knife block!! I am fairly new to wood working. Would you mind explaining how you did it?

This is a really nice piece of work, both beautiful and functional.

I really like the way you have minimized the use of wood and created space (both aesthetically and functionally) around the knives.

Great stuff!
