Knife throwing target?

[Aram]

Has anyone made a knife throwing target? The target part is easy -- I'll cut 2x (whatever I bought, 10, I think?) into 3" lengths, glue them in rows with end grain exposed, then glue the rows together to make a rectangle. Probably about 2' wide by 30 - 36" tall. I can stick paper targets onto it. It's the stand i'm not sure about. I'd like to make something like an easel I can take out into the yard, and use to support the target a couple feet above ground.

I found this on a knife throwing site:

The Roland Zwosta design

But I'm not sure how the angled top is held together. I would think joinery. (?) Too much work. I am looking for something simple but sturdy, with bolts, screws, joist hangers, that kind of thing. Something I could bang out quickly, and then get back to real woodworking.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Never made a knife throwing target but made a target for air rifles. I tacked an old ceiling tile to a piece of plywood and used a picture of Adam Schiff for the target.

When I was in college the dorm doors were solid core.

One of the students used the interior of the door as a knife throwing target.  His roommate complained.  He said at the very least that the door should be locked when he was doing his knife throwing.

He said, "Once I throw the knife, you cannot open the door quickly enough to get hit with a flying knife."  It is probably true but did not make his roommate feel any more secure.

He had to pay for a new door at the end of the year. 

End grain wood flooring is uniform in thickness.  I don't know if  you can order small quantities though.

You could explain what you are using if for and see if they have any "seconds" to sell.
