Your blocks are absolutely top.

 

[Uwek]

Really High quality blocks - and I guess for a very reasonable price
I think I know, where I am ordering in the future - postage costs should be not so extreme, because of small weight
Very Good

 

[Dry-Dock Models & Parts]

Thank you guys!!

I have question ,it is a kinda survey type ,what wood type you prefer for the blocks?

Boxwood or Pearwood ( this is darker pear than European version)

 

[Uwek]

For my personal taste I like the pearwood touch very much.
Have in mind, that most of the scratch builder working in pear or Elsbeere are oiling there models afterwards, so the natural pear of the model is getting also darker, than the original natural wood. Blocks are usually never oiled before installing in the rigging......

 

[Jimsky]

I agree with Uwe, Pearwood would be the preferable choice, but boxwood give you an option to stain in variety of colors

Very nice.

I’m not enough of an expert but whichever wood is harder I think.

I think most people decides what color the wood has,I personally like better the dark pearwood
