Knife boxes the "Stockfishes"

[snikolaev28]

G'Day,

Just finished two knife boxes - "The Angry Stockfish" and "The New Zealand Stockfish". Why Stockfish? In my country - Ukraine, dry salted fish traditionally eated with beer instead chips. This salted fish named "taranka". I didn't found the detail product in US shops, so Stockfish. Made from pine, 2 layers of black oil for wood. Walls - 10 mm, lid and bottom - 6 mm, the inner insert thickness - 4 mm. Made with hand tools only. The pattern was fretsawed with jewellery fretsaw, blades @Antilope, jewelry blades.

Dried fish sounds better than cooked greasy potatoes. 

Do these boxes store the knives?

Very nice! I do know that was a lot of work.

 

I started wood cutting with a coping saw.  Went to a scrollsaw when electricity came to the farm.

This boxes made for knives. 

Really I make boxes as a gift boxes or presentation boxes for local knifemakers from Ukraine. So every box will contain a knife. Sure. The other boxes are not scrolled. 

For example the below boxes were made with knifemaker's logo on the lid only.
