Create striking, one-of-a-kind knife handles with these stabilized curly maple knife blocks. Made from Canadian curly maple and professionally stabilized, these blocks combine natural character with added strength and reliability for demanding knife-making projects.
Each block is unique. Patterning varies from piece to piece depending on grain structure and wood density. The block shown in photos has been sanded to reveal the figure and is representative only. Your blanks will be selected at random.
What does “stabilized” mean?
Stabilized refers to wood that has been impregnated with resin under pressure. This process reinforces softer or highly figured areas, filling microscopic voids and strengthening the wood from the inside out. Because resin and dye absorption varies with wood density, some colour variation within a blank is normal. Minor internal imperfections are also a natural part of working with real wood. For these reasons, we do not offer refunds for colour variation or slight internal imperfections.
What is the size of these blocks?
Each knife block measures approximately 1" × 2" × 5". This size is ideal for a wide range of knife handle styles, giving you enough material for shaping, contouring, and final fitting. The photo shown is a representative sample only. Blanks are selected at random. Figure will vary from piece to piece. No refunds for colour variation or minor internal imperfections.
