Knife Block

For Christmas "She who must be obeyed" got a set of knives which have turned out to be pretty good. This means that they are always being used and needed a place to live. So a Knife block was called for.

Pretty simple really although I did have 2 goes at it.

It is made from one of my old hardwood fence palings and a few pine scraps.




After cutting the 5 hardwood sections a bit longer than required, I marked out the size and shape of the individual knives and their covers on 4 of the sections. I then glued the pine around those marks letting it overhang the hardwood. Once they dried I glued the 5 section together. Again once they dried I then planed and cut the block to finish size and gave it 4 coats of polyurethane. The covers were then inserted into the block so the colour can indicate where each block should go.
