Knife block - PEM BB dimensional.straw.knifeblock

This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Dimensional Lumber Woodworking.

Perhaps you are getting a bit sick of your kitchen knives getting dull in a drawer.  Or you have run out of bandages from digging around in that knife drawer.  Let's build a wooden knife block!
