Hiaqua 37VT03 Finds Buried Treasure

[Here's] a little treasure we found bolted to the port stateroom closet wall under the bed in a storage compartment.  It has a top screwed to it and looks kind of like a knife holder, but nothing in it.  All teak.  Any ideas as to what this is all about?  I removed it.  Hope it is not some superstitious item.  --Randy Miller
I haven't seen anything like it on a tug before.  For awhile the Yard built wood block knife holders into the countertop to the right of the stove.  I sent the picture to Tommy Chen.  We'll see what he has to say.  --Dave Howell

That has got to be what it is.  It sure looks like a knife holder even though it looks a little odd.  Having worked with Taiwanese for 40 years, I know how superstitious they can be.  A previous owner must have just relocated it for some reason rather than using it to make teak plugs.  --Randy Miller
