A walnut sheath project for a kitchen knife.

My daughter Aurora has a (beautiful and wonderfully sharp) kitchen knife that has a lost sheath, so I made a replacement sheath from a 1″ thick piece of walnut that had really nice figure.  Here is the final result The sheath has two halves, with a routered out section in the interior that the knife blade fits into.  As this was a one time project, I didn’t make a template for that interior…

In a Roman Osteria (1866) 🎨 Carl Bloch 🏛️ Statens Museum for Kunst 📍 Copenhagen, Denmark

As is often the case in Bloch’s work, knives and forks are brandished rather freely. Note in particular how the phallic decanter to the left may be close to an inviting mouth with slightly parted lips, but is equally - and unpleasantly - close to a knife and a fork with only two large prongs considerably more pointy than those of the young man’s fork.

In a Roman Osteria is an intensified version of a painting by one of Bloch’s major predecessors, Wilhelm Marstrand (1810-1873); specifically his charming Italian Osteria Scene from 1848 (Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek). It is one of Bloch’s most popular genre pictures and is typical of his seductive ability to depict objects, details, and clothes with striking realism.

Within Bloch’s body of work, the genre pictures constituted a break from the many commissions from the Danish Establishment. Friars with toothache, monks plucking chickens, coarse fishwives, and children hunting innocent ducks were among his favorite subjects. These pictures were usually very amusing, but also often rather strange and very much open to interpretation.
