I ran out of cheese slicers last fall and it's been too cold to spend time in the shop. Well, Mother Nature has been kind here in mid-Ohio so I took advantage of it and got started. I ended up making 9 altogether and as you can see they all have a different appearance with the same end result - attractive. I used green tinted resin on some of them and the ones with Koa, I used a red tinted resin because I thought it would compliment the Koa. I took one to my local postmaster as a thank you for the excellent service I get year round. One of the clerks saw it and asked if I could bring a couple over because she wanted to get one for a gift. She picked out one with Koa split with walnut similar to the #6 . So now I'm down to 7 so I'll probably start some more. I make them in sets of 3 and it takes 3 or 4 days before I can do any milling but in the top portion of the pictures you'll see how I spend my resin drying time.
Those different timber combinations sure take the cake cut the cheese... though I've never managed to get a slicer that kept functioning... always reverted back to my Santoku knife. though I never worked from a kit.
Sorry to say 1943... those riflessteal the show... the never miss the mark.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
