I just finished sanding a little knife block to hold a Chinese

a small chef's knife. I used some red oak that was lying around
the shop,
gluing it all together with Titebond II.

30 years ago, I used boiled linseed oil on a couple of knife racks.

Poured the BLO in a pot, heated it up on the stove, then dunked the
racks into it.

As this is being written, no fatalities to report.
