Fusion Knife Blocks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you are familiar with William Wood-Write’s fusion pen blanks, you’ll be glad to hear we also carry fusion blanks in knife block sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

William Wood-Write’s Fusion Blanks are handcrafted in-house by our talented resin artist, Cyndi, using a blend of various types of exotic burl and hand poured resin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Red<\/a><\/figure>
\n

We recommend finishing Fusion blanks like you would a wooden blank. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For best results and to avoid blowouts, you must use razor sharp tools and take very light cuts when working with fusion knife blocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use Micro Mesh<\/a>, we recommend wet sanding to avoid fine scratches in the acrylic. It is not uncommon to find the occasional small void in the blank while turning; they can be easily filled in with a small amount of thick CA glue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
