Knife Block

Here's a little project I made recently. We received a nice set of steak knives for Christmas and they needed a home. I didn't want them on the wall (I didn't want to try drilling the tiles) and under cabinet wouldn't work because of the under cabinet lights so it meant having something on the counter. I saw a picture of something like this when I Googled knife block images.

Cherry and maple, a coat of BLO and a couple coats of a wipe on varnish. The gap for the knives is just a non-through saw kerf. I cut a shallow dado on the face and added a thin strip of maple to close the face. Then added a base of maple with chamfered edges.

Nice!

Just another senior moment!! I counted the spaces between the kerfs instead of the kerfs themselves. Good thing it was one too many instead of one too few!

Very cool knife block. I like the slope to save vertical space.

I am guessing that the folks in your hose are right handed.
