18" Danggai Magnetic Knife Strip

Another knife strip out the door, this one to D.C. This is made from danggai (kingiodendron). I took a couple pictures to try to highlight the spectacular wavy, complex, grain in this rare wood.

I have a limited supply of danggai left, but knife strips are available for purchase on Etsy

12" Danggai Knife Strip

Just in time for the holidays, someone picked up this knife strip.

I've got enough material left for one more like this, so strike while the iron's hot.

12" Danngai (Kingiodendron)

Over the few years I've been doing this I've scattered posts on knife strips all over this blog. I wanted to consolidate pictures in a central location, so they're after the jump:

Also, I currently have a couple for sale on Etsy, walnut, danggai, and purpleheart.

Chessboard

I built this chessboard in 2007. The "black" squares are made of bloodwood, which has a naturally-occurring deep red color. The "white" squares are maple. The light border is also maple, and the dark wood framing the entire chessboard is walnut.
