So my wife and I came across some painted kitchen knives that we liked a lot, but didn’t really have a good way to store and/or display them when not in use. So I came up with this:
I used PG Cherry Hardwood, PG acrylic, and PG Cherry Plywood (for the base). Not glue involved anywhere, though I might end up gluing the little acrylic dividers since they sometimes want to come out when a knife is removed.
Here’s a pic showing the engraving detail on the columns (all of the artwork is Creative Commons CC0 from pixabay.com). The conchos (the metal bits on the columns) are from Tandy Leather. I had to use an extension post to connect the front of the concho to the back, and the only place I found them was at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbooking section (who knew?):
Really beautiful Amazing on several levels. The first is where did you get those beautiful silver bits? Then the knives are fabulous in their design but it screams “hello! I bet you hadn’t thought of doing CERAMIC knives before, with the laser!” And that thought quickly followed by “I wonder if you painted on a glaze that would only fire in where the Laser hit?”
Beyond that the concept itself is stunning even if they were ordinary knives
I was thinking that that was a really fancy knife holder until I scrolled down to your last picture with the knives inserted. They complement each other very nicely.
