Learn to shape by hand, rout, and finish solid wood — and leave with a piece that earns its place in any discerning kitchen.
Over a full day, you'll make a wall-mounted knife block in solid walnut or oak: a 325mm bar with a rounded cross-section, flat on the front where ten magnets hold your knives flush to the surface, and flat on the back where a sliding dovetail joint locks it invisibly to the wall. No slots, no clutter, no visible fixings — just knives on wood, held by magnets, made by you.
The form is deceptively simple. Getting there involves precision drilling, router work with a jig, a glued capping piece that seals the magnets inside the block, and an afternoon of hand-shaping — rasp, disc sander, and hand plane — that brings the rounded profile to a surface worth showing off. You'll choose your timber on the day: walnut for a darker, finer-grained result; oak for something more open and characterful.
