WTS Figured Norway Maple Wall-mounted Magnetic Knife Block(s)

[WPerry]

$150 each or $270 for both, shipped.

Block A is sold; Block B still available at $150.

I was able to get two blocks from a really interesting piece of Norway Maple, with both blonde and caramel wood tones and wavy grain. The finish is more of a satiny, natural look, rather than a plasticky high gloss.

I use keyhole mounts, 16" on center (you can mount to studs, though I don't think it's necessary with proper anchors), so that there's no visible hardware/holes/plugs on the face of the block. I've also machined sighting flutes on the back of the block to make hole location/spacing simple.

Very strong magnets. When removing knives, you want to twist, rolling on to the spine before pulling away from the block. For reference, there are six 60mm wide magnets embedded for ~15" of magnetic space.

Approximately 18" x 3" x .75" with lightly chamfered front edges.

Ships in 1-3 business days. Knives not included, obv.

These are gorgeous! I'd buy if I wasn't looking for a house and not sure of fitment in a new kitchen. GLWS
