Hi Everyone

Had a new client call me last week inquiring about my custom knife block that was seen on CustomMade.com and wanted to know if I was interested in designing one for him. Sure!!! He sent me the scaled template of what he wanted to include and chose Walnut and Cherry for the woods. I added the bookmatched walnut on the base to give it a little artistic flair.The slots for the knives were cut out on the scroll saw. Fun little project

Thanks for the comments guys
To Frank--The face of the block where the slots are is made from 3/4" stock cut to the proer size.

The locations for. the slots are marked off and a pilot hole is drilled for the blade to thread through.

The cut is made following the lines.

The interior consists of seperate pieces of cherry cut and fitted to match up with the slots of the face piece.

Hope this helps
 
great work. attractive piece.
if its layers of cherry laminated together, Id probably use my mortiser for each layer under the top piece.

Looks like an interesting challenging project.
