Jay 1 Posted Sunday at 11:53 PM Share #243 Posted Sunday at 11:53 PM (edited) Those look really nice, Chuck! Are they pear? I think having a variety of toned blocks adds to a model.

Chuck Posted Monday at 07:08 PM Author Share #248 Posted Monday at 07:08 PM Thank you...I may start production on these within a week or so. Still finessing. These are all pre-dyed blocks. I am using fiebings dye like Greg And David. I thought it would be nice to offer these. I rether like the color and am preparing them for my speedwell. So I figured why not figure out how to mass produce them. The holes on these blocks are extra large to make rigging easier as well. But they still retain the classic look. This is especially good for the small 3/32" blocks. I have a batch of double and triple blocks cooking as I write this.

I have enough now to finish my Bluenose, but definitely want to take inventory of what I will need for the ships waiting up in boxes on the shelf! And definitely love the idea of having the slightly larger holes, as we always seem to need to ream out the holes for whatever rigging we are using. Thanks for doing these and keeping us updated!

Chuck Posted Monday at 11:14 PM Author Share #251 Posted Monday at 11:14 PM some doubles and triples....these were dyed longer and have a slightly different finish. A very deep finish actually. The smallest size is 3/32 by the way. That is a very small triple block. Do you prefer this finish and color.... or this finish and color.... Or do they look so similar I am just going crazy....I have blocks on my mind....a blockhead of sorts.

toms10 Posted yesterday at 12:37 AM Share #252 Posted yesterday at 12:37 AM My 2 cents. I like the blocks in the second picture. In the top picture, they seem a bit on the reddish side. Maybe it is just how the pic came across on my phone. Tom Chuck, thibaultron, Ryland Craze and 2 others 5 Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure. Finished: Charles W.

Chuck Posted 8 hours ago Author Share #253 Posted 8 hours ago Yes it was just a bad photo...sorry. Here is a better one. These are so tough to photograph for whatever reason. These are the finished blocks. Production will resume soon.

GGibson Posted 4 hours ago Share #256 Posted 4 hours ago Is it a bad thing to say that I like 'em natural, so I can dye/stain them myself based on whatever the rest of the ship has?

Chuck Posted 2 hours ago Author Share #257 Posted 2 hours ago OK slight confession....the blocks you see me working on above are not boxwood. I am working on a speedier alternative. The tricky part is making them look like wood. This will also be a much much cheaper alternative. These blocks are all 3d printed. No painting required...they will come like this straight out of the bag. I have the boxwood or natural blocks all figured out and they look really good. I hope you agree. I just need to get the darker shade chosen. Color and finish is the tricky part of this. Clue blocks, sheet blocks, sister blocks, violin blocks, hearts deadeyes.....the possibilities are endless.
