Just purchased this old Globe 10 drawer type setter box for knife storage. My beautiful wife got it for me as a retirement gift. Now to fill it up!!

I also use this card stock file! I apologize if there is already a thread for this type of thing.

The wooden Globe came from the Dunklin County Abstract Office and dates to late 1800's.

That Globe chest is pretty awesome, Kevin! Very nice historic piece.
Those two look like they can hold a LOT of knives.

Those are both great, but the old wooden one really flips my switch.

Bring it across the river and let me examine it for the next 10 or 12 years, maybe I can figure out an answer for you.

I like ken's answer.
If I had to pick from looking at the picture, I say Walnut. Mahogany, whether light or dark, would have a reddish cast and I don't see that. So, I say good old Eastern Black Walnut.
Do you see something up close and personal to make you think Mahogany?
