    Finished up knife block and knives

    I have finished up the knife block and the scales on the knives I was making. Was a little different project for me as I mostly do turning. The knife kits were a Christmas present. Wood is curly maple.

    Sparky,

    Your knives turned out great. You also did a great job on the knife block. I don't see the cutting board!!! It looks like the steel is really high quality steel. How did you sharpen them? That was a great project, and a great Christmas present, that you will use and enjoy for a long, long time.

    Great job, Sam

    I used the System 3 T88 epoxy from Woodcraft and it seems to have worked well. The knives came with rivets but the direction said you could also just epoxy the scales on and I thought that would look better so I tried it. Only time will tell.
