| In these tough economic times, I've had more than a few customers write to me and tell me about knife related projects that they have made to pick up a little extra income. Here's a few ideas that may help you. If you have any ideas that you'd like to share, let me know and I'll post them here. I'm sure your fellow readers would appreciate it also. ( Also some great idea for gifts!) |

| Kitchen Knife Holder | |||||
| Sort of an art-deco design, this kitchen knife holder really shows off your high end creations in a very fashionable, functional way. Construction is easy using layers in a laminated type of construction. For a good blow up view, click HERE. This particular holder was made out of purpleheart. |

| A variation on the above knife holder is a slightly more traditional design. The laminated construction with cutouts in the layers where the knives will go is similar to the above. |

| Ulu Kitchen Blade Holder | |||||
| Ulu blades are always very popular in the kitchen because of their utility and are easy to make. Enhancing their sale-ability ( or gift-ability) is a good holder base to make it convenient to use and to show it off. This one is made with a zebra wood base and handle.

| Cheese Board | |||||
| A simple cheese tray can be made from scraps of wood, in this case come curly maple with bloodwood spacer strips for contrast. The Alout blade is a good choice for this. The slot on the side to hold the blade was made by moving the upside down board a short distance over a partially exposed table saw blade. |
