I did a bit of digging around which confirms what I was thinking. Storing them in a sealed wooden box is actually be a good way to prevent rust. The wooden partitions in my box are unfinished and so when the box is closed, it will help draw down the humidity in the box. I can always add a satchel of silica gel to help it along. Remember that 12% is bound water, it is not going to come out of the timber unless the humidity drops and if the humidity drops then there is no problem because that's the direction we want to go anyway. Rust won't form with air relative humidity below 40% and is slow below 50%. Also keeping the dust away by enclosing the tools will also minimise rust.

My experience has been different. I had some carving chisels given me (unused) in a wooden pencil type box and they are in a terrible state. Whereas I have a set of plough plane blades in a tin tobacco tin, a cloth that was soaked with engine oil 40 years ago and they have no rust.
Your synopsis sounds sound tho.woody U.K.

It looks like you're cornering the knife box market. What were your reasons for the timber choices?

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

Butternut machines well and takes hand tools exceptionally well, but it can give some people a nasty allergic reaction. Not me fortunately. It looks a bit like pacific maple or qld maple. Some seems to have a bit of a wavy figure. I think if it was to be used solid I would be staining it.

I put a link in post 65, did you miss it or isn't it working for you? It is more of the same so I didn't want to post all the WIP here. I think anyone really interested can subscribe to updates on my picasa site.
We will keep one box for our cutlery (maybe two) and the others I will try and off load. Perhaps as Georgian remote control holdersmemento mori

Nearly to the stage of veneering, but I have to make some banding first.
