Some friends of mine opened a cheese shop modeled after the ones they worked in while they were students in France. They are coming up on their 5th year in business and I want to make something special for them.

I will use one of the Cheese Knife blanks and turn a handle to go with a matching set of pens, and perhapse make a presentation case that resembles a wedge of cheese.

I would like to chose some nice wood that would be evokative of France or the Artisanal Cheese makers of Europe.

Does anyone have any suggestions for wood?

For this one definitely some form of Olive Wood would be kewl as cheese, olives and olive oil go together. Though I am not a drinker it might be kewl if you could find some wood from an old wine keg which might also make a good presentation box.

Nice idea! Show us pics when you are done,

If you would like some Oak from an old wine barrel I have some staves. You can have them for the cost of postage. Some of the wood is colored from the red wine. They turn nicely. PM me if you would like a few pieces of the wood
 
About a month of sitting out, some Swiss maybe get hard enough to turn. Be sure to paint the brass tubes because they'll show through the holes. Or you can fill them in with Limberger and finish with CA.
