Full & Top Head Blocks

# vww

Head Blocks can replace Corner Blocks for a more decorative statement. Full Head Blocks can be flattened on top for use as Middle Blocks at Chair Rail height. Use our Size Matching Chart to determine proper Head Block width for a given Casing size.

Proper Grain Orientation
The grain of the wood in our Head Blocks runs with the length of the Block; never across it. This is important. First, it just looks better. Old carpenter's say trees grow up - not sideways!

Stability Through the Years
Second, our Blocks don't warp. Cheaply made Blocks are often made by running a long board through a moulder and then cross-cutting Blocks from that board. That's much faster, but results in grain running across the Block rather than with it's length and can result in warping. Our custom machines cut the moulded pattern into pre-cut Blocks, ensuring the grain runs properly with their length.     Material Choices     CA Resident WARNING
