Are they inlay or something like that or did you made some kind of "sandwich" of maple and walnut? Anyway, it looks great. Very nice work Devin,

Anyway, it looks great.

First in Sketch-Up, then in real life. Devin did a great job thinking through all the details. He's a very talented guy, and completely dedicated to the art of wood. Way to go Dev!

I mentioned it when Marc did his knife block project and I put the link to your LJ pics in my reply I know several people had to be viewing them. It really is a great piece...man if I could produce something half as nice I would be happy. Cheers John Devin

The great thing about that knife block is if you have a mongolian bar-b-q and need more skerwers you'll know where to get them!!! Nice job!

But you pulled it off. I think it looks great. I can appreciate the miters and all the effort that they took. But you pulled it off. I think it looks great.

The extra time to fit the walnut trim pieces really paid off. Maple and walnut combination is great! Very nice knife block. The extra time to fit the walnut trim pieces really paid off.

Looks edgy with all those points sticking out. Marc: the site is so fast now! I could get used to this. Devin: That’s a nice twist on the design. Looks edgy with all those points sticking out.

How did you cut the miters? Miter gauge? Miter saw? Miter sled? I wonder if applying the walnut to the end of maple stock (say, cutting rabbets on each face and filling with the walnut) would simplify the process. Of course, you would have end grain, rather than face grain on the end of the 'box'. Very nice piece.

Makes the knife holder I have in the kitchen look like a scrap piece of wood! I'm glad you went the extra mile and didn't simplify. I think we'd see more quality pieces of woodworking if woodworkers would make the extra effort. How cool is that! Makes the knife holder I have in the kitchen look like a scrap piece of wood!
