The CUSTOM Block
Make It Yours
Start with an existing block design and make it just right. Or, think all the way outside the block and flex the muscles of your artistic imagination.
Can you make that block
bigger/smaller/thicker/more tapered?
Blockhead Tools’ design team can make many custom accommodations.
Just ask!
About Custom Blocks
Start With Your Shape
Basic, Student, Paperweight, Swedish, and Egg
Any shape really!! No limits to the shape you need
Choose the Size
Tiny to big. Limited only by the physical constraints of glass and wood.
Work With Blockhead Designers
We won’t carve your custom design until you are satisfied with the digital proof.
Drawings and proofs are always considered confidential. Your design ideas are accessible only to Blockhead’s Design Team. We would never share them with anybody else!
What materials does Blockhead make blocks with?
The heads are made with native Pacific Northwest Bigleaf Maple
Handles are carved out of rot-resistant Purpleheart wood
All the metal bits (tags, screws, etc.) are stainless steel

How do I take care of my blocks?
Keep ‘em wet! Your Blockhead blocks arrive vacuum-sealed with a kiss of Nitrogen to preserve their integrity. Keep them soaking in a 5 gallon bucket of water with 1/4 cup of bleach when not in use. Visit our Care and Feeding section here.
