Craft warm, classic knife handles with this walnut knife block. Walnut is a favourite among woodworkers for good reason—it finishes beautifully, and offers rich, natural colour that adds character to any custom knife project.
Walnut heartwood ranges from a light, pale brown to deep chocolate tones, often accented with darker streaks. Depending on the board and cut, colour can show subtle grey, purple, or reddish undertones, while the sapwood contrasts with a pale yellow-grey to nearly white appearance. With its medium texture and moderately straight grain, walnut is highly cooperative for shaping, sanding, and finishing.
This block size is well suited for a wide range of knife handle styles, giving you plenty of material to shape, contour, and fine-tune your final fit.
