Treecycle, this is "Teknos Donna Woodoil" black. This oil is black in the tin, but producer recommends to shake well tin with oil before painting, so it seems to me that black pigment is inside.
This is European market woodoil. Probably it is like Varathane.

The next box. It is not the knife box, but there is marker knife in this box.
The main reason of this box making is the attempt to organise my marking tools for every day use and cover them from the dust.
So the next box - instrumental box just made from " and sticks" (Russian idiom) or "make a silk purse of a sow's ear" - English idiom.
This box was made from:
1 - offcuts of pine boards from EUR-pallet, with nail holes
2 - offcuts from board making process - various sticks near 500 mm long, from 10 to 20 mm width and different height with different quality - with pine tar, white and yellow, with grey areas etc
3 - offcut from 3 mm thick MDF - I was made a board for my daughter some time ago.
Before making this instrumental box all my marking tools lived in the different paper box from electronic gadgets. This box will take its place over my workbench.
So - the first photo - box just made and sitting over workbench

The next photo shows the box with lid opened a little. Lid is made from 3 mm thick MDF offcut. The grooves in the box wall were made with small plough-plane.

In the next photo box without a lid. The view shows the upper tray with 2 SHINWA squares, Veritas marking gauge, three pencils and tweezers. You should trust me but tweezers is really "must have" tool. I use it very often when making tight rabbets and grooves. For example grooves of this box have 3 mm width and located in 5 vv from box's wall edge. The shaves are so narrow and they cloggs plane so I need tweezers. And the knife is present - long marking knife.

The next photo - the well known famous Stanley combination square made not more 1930 - it's very, very accurate tool! The small engineer square - I don't know the common name for such tools class on Englishб but this is very accurate gauge with very-very high tolerances - microns, like a Mitutoyo precision engineer square, and a thickness gauge up to 0,01 mm accuracy. The upper tray sit one the 4 offcuts glued to the box bottom.

The next photo - the close view of the upper tray bottom. I've rabbeted the rabbet 5x5 mm with Stanley 78 rabbet plane and glued sawed sticks handplaned from different thickness to 5 mm - you can notice that bottom were made from stripes with different width and colour&structure.
IMG_20210520_170304.jpg
The next photo - the whole box wall - you can notice holes from nails.
IMG_20210520_170513.jpg
So there are two choices for all these offcuts - barbecue - fast and tasty choice but not good for marking tools and make a box - long and not tasty
I will use this box for sometime and after tossing instruments between upper tray and bottom, after they will take its own places, I will make a logements from EVA material. Probably after EVA glueing the box will be finished with one or two coats of BLO.

Good work on making use of waste materials. I'm sure the tools are happy in their new home.

Nothing spectacular, just a new box for the kitchen knife set + sharpener. But for me it is real Big Box - 430x310x70 - outer dimensions. The ruler is layed over diagonal is 500 mm long. Just some photos.IMG_20210710_140009.jpgIMG_20210710_140025.jpgIMG_20210710_140031.jpgIMG_20210710_140052.jpgIMG_20210710_140123.jpgIMG_20210710_140134.jpg

Nice box, those knives will be happy in there
Every box made is a victory in my book. We can never have too many craftsman made boxes in this world

Looks good in the black and the engraving in the lid sets it off. Will you be making holders for the knifes so they don't move around?

G'Day Treecycle,
Probably I will make some kind of dividers or here in Ukraine we called it "logement" (copy from French word). But the customer who has ordered all these boxes lives in the other city. He is knifemaker. May be in the future he will have a 'calm' order and we can work together on the dividers.
Bendigo Bob, thank you. I'm thinking too the boxes make the world better.
And the happiest news for me - Ruddy clicked "Like" button for my box.
I hope you could understand me - the famouse Ruddy who started a long serie of 'Ruddy's Boxes' and 'Radio Button Boxes' with his tutorials on the Lumberjocks! Very nice to see this!

Have you thought of making a moulded bed to house the knives?
You make a male half-model of the knife and attach it to the bottom of a tray with the same inside dimensions as the box. Lay a piece of the lining cloth or suede over the half model and sides of the tray. Quickly cover the fabric as evenly as possible with expanding builders' foam and clamp a board over the top of the tray. The foam will expand to fill the void and press the fabric against the model. Eventually some will force its way out of the gaps between the board and the sides of the tray. If you've used too much foam it can be quite messy, but better too much than too little.

Another box. Made from pine with small strips of alder glued at the corners. I've sawed off small rebates on the corners (5x5 mm) and cleaned them by chisel, than glued alder strips into these rebates. The box is covered by two layers of clear wood oil. This is training box - I've wood like to see contrast between pine and more darker alder.Vilha_1.jpgVilha_2.jpgVilha_3.jpgVilha_4.jpgVilha_5.jpgVilha_7.jpg
