WOW what a beast...looks really nice Mike. Since you said you cut the holes with the scrollsaw, my guess is that you made a box and on one end you made it into a face plate with the holes...is this correct? Which ever way you made it, it looks great!

Shazam! That is absolutenly gorgeous. Your joinery is amazing. If I needed a knife block you would be my first choice.
Just great.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
To Larry-- you are correct in your guess as to how the slots were made. The front where the slots are is 3/4" stock and the filler pieces inside the block are added and line up with the face slots. Lots of behind the scene work for sure. This is a prototype for the client that has expressed interest in having me create blocks for a cutlery store.

Wow Mike! - I thought that your previous knife block posting was fantastic but with this beast you've really excelled yourself. Simply beautiful!
