The Woodshop Shed

Knife collection Display with Cherry Frame

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This is my attempt for a way of displaying knifes of 4 to 6 even though I placed some larger ones in for testing. The entire frame is cherry with a 3:4 back board for the knife holding. The over all size is 3 deep and the frame is 20.5 x 27.
After I had cut the back board I cut rows of 1/2 strips for the 3/8 magnets epoxied in place – for holding the knifes with a 3/8 dowel for supporting each handle side bracing. (Picture three).
I had to ensure that the knife blades faced left so the handle logo showed, a mistake I almost made but caught it before mounting the backboard the frame.
The front panel is made of cherry also with plexiglass insert and I finished with Zinser sealer with light sanding.Hope my WWII buddy likes it when presented he has over 80 knifes much more than my small collection that I had to scrap together for the picture shown.The case will hold 28 knifes ….
