Finally - The block
Well the thread has digressed at times a little, but that's ok with me as I am one of the worst offenders on that score. In fact once upon a time in a former life I sat in an office situation with two other bloke sitting directly behind me.
We used to pass the time telling stories in what was otherwise an extraordinary existence. On this particular occasion the blokes behind went unusually quiet. I turned around to see what was going on. They looked at me and said
"Doesn't that remind you of anything? "
Apparently I had the habit of leading into digressions with that catch phrase. But I digress ....
I finally made up the knife block to house the JP knives I bought for Simon's birthday. He won't get them until late July when I head down to NSW and he is going overseas on holiday until the 12th anyway, but here is what I came up with:
JP knife block 007.jpgJP knife block 003.jpgJP knife block 004.jpgJP knife block 005.jpgJP knife block 006.jpg
Still have to apply a final coat as there are a few blemishes probably not visible in the pix.

Thanks Neil.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that the block is just common all garden pine. In fact it was some offcuts Simon had left behind when he moved out (again ). The timber was stained with Prooftint, which is a Feast and Watson product. Then just varnished with Penetrol added to assist the flow.
One day I'll have to try the ebonising trick. Berlin was telling me how easy it was. It didn't sound too difficult. Possibly even I could do it. I'll have to contact him again to get the exact recipe.
