How to make your own cheese knife holder
.

.
.
 The project featured on this page doesn't take much time. If you own a compound miter saw, this project should take about 10 minutes to complete. If you are using a 
Proman miter saw to cut your wood, it will take approximately 30 minutes.
.

What you need to make a wooden cheese wedge:
2 X 4 wood of choice (preferably light colored and minimal knots)
pencil
ruler
Drill press & drill bits 
Saw of choice 
Clamps
220 grit Sand paper
.
.
 
 Draw a triangle onto a piece of 2X4 and draw a triangle using a pencil and a ruler. The triangle should measure about 3 1/4" at the base and about 4" high.
.
 
Using a miter saw and box or a table saw, cut a slit in the wood about 1" deep, and 3/4" away from the triangle base line.
.
 
Using several different sizes of drill bits and your drill press, drill hole pockets in a random pattern. Be sure not to drill too deep.
.
 
Set your choice of saw to 70 degrees, and cut off one side of the triangle.
 
Clamp the scrap triangle that you cut off to the side you haven't cut yet. The top should be level. 
Again, with different sizes of drill bits, drill pockets in a random pattern.
Cut the other side of the triangle, and clamp everything together in the same fashion shown. Make sure the side you are about to drill, is level.
Cut the base of the triangle, and clamp your pieces together as shown. Drill more pockets using drill bits of different sizes
Sand your cheese wedge smooth, and apply 
salad bowl finish if desired.
