It seems to me that making an angled knife block could be a simple
matter. Design an adequate length to make the angle for the last
step; a long enough block of wood & make some suitably deep & wide
slots with a circular saw; take another block & make more (for the
smaller knives); add another layer; glue the lot together; chop the
end off at an angle & glue it onto the rest to form the support.

Obviously this would be easier with a table saw, but I don't have one
(& don't have anywhere to keep one, otherwise this would be an excuse
to buy a nifty tool). Am I missing anything?

One more question: apart from not using obviously bad stuff like
tanalised or creosoted wood, will planed spruce/pine or any similar
"bog standard" indoor wood from B&Q be suitable for this?
