Project 4

Moving on to week 4 of the WWGOA Woodworking Challenge, we’ve got another functional yet attractive item for the kitchen – a knife block. This unique design, originally created by Seth Keller, is a low-profile take on the classic knife block, perfect for kitchens with not too much counter space to spare. This simple project comes together pretty easily with a table saw and some clamps.

    I'm needing a project to tackle with my limited woodshop skills. Plenty of tools, willing to learn skills. The knife block looks great.
