Well done, your knife holder is really nice. Made me remember that I built one that holds 9 knives awhile back and forgot to post it.

Kyle,

How did you cut the holes for the knifes? Or did you laminate the wood together?
Is purple heart wood diffulcult to work with?

Thanks everyone!

Binn,
To cut the slots for the knifes, I used a 3/16" straight bit on my router table for the bottom slots. And scroll saw for the top slots. And YES, it is a very difficult wood to work with. I had to use all new carbine tipped blades to cut it, so I didn't burn it.

Dusty56,
Thanks for asking, I forgot to mention that. I used 5 coats of a butcher block mineral oil finish.

Beautiful knife block! It's worth all the hardwork and effort because your pupleheart is very attractive and it holds a lot of knives. Great job!
