Blockheads
My take on Blockheads. I typically have a few available for sale, but can make them out of specific wood that I have available and colours to suit, if I can source the thread. I’m happy to make suggested variations on request. Full, standing height to top of hair is approximately 120mm (4.7 Inches). Sizes may vary.
The ones pictured are made from Beech and finished with Tung Oil and Beeswax.
