Anyone had any experience making knife blocks? I have an abundance of kitchen knives and my blocks are overflowing. I have taken to putting them in a drawer and frankly it's not safe since I sharpen them to the same degree as my chisels and planes. I need to make a big one.
I have a nice piece of maple to use. It was a bench from a locker room at a local school so I have plenty of material to laminate together. I'd just rather avoid any pitfalls that my fellow Creekers might have experienced. Just like there's no sense reinventing the wheel, there's no sense is stepping in something that's already been stepped in.
All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.
