Rockwater's Blocks

I wanted to post the fabulous hat block, band block, and block stand that Jim @Rockwater made for me. #52 block 5.5 inches. Beautiful work by Jim.

Wow....nicest i’ve ever seen!!
I can only imagine how many man hours it took to sculpt a simple hat block into a piece of art!!
Rockwater is the master!

Beautiful! Functional art that my wife might even allow on the coffee table.

So, the stand is not a spinner, and the square post means it’s not compatible with a spinner? Not a big deal to me.

Are taller blocks available; 6”, 6.5”? I know some dimensions are limited by equipment/saws.

You're right about the stand. I don't know about the heights. I believe TJones got a taller block than mine. Jim can probably make what you want. He is very easy to work with.

Awesome surprise post Scott. Thank you very much.
Curious minds were wondering if you had a serviceable block or a fancy doorstop.
I’ll take the opportunity to show a view from the top, my favorite.

Thanks B, if you figure out the hours, don’t tell me!

Could we convince you to post what options you can make and your pricing?

You're welcome Jim. I'll promote your blocks whenever and wherever I can.
The hat in the photo is the first hat I have re-blocked with the block. I really like how it shaped up. Nice straight sides. Just what I wanted. I'd like to have about 30 of them just to display my hats.

Here's the block Rockwater made for me. This one's 6 inches tall. It's so nice, I almost hate using it.

Cornshucker77 · Jul 25, 2019

Beautiful. I know how you feel Terry.

This Biltmore is one of the hats that I converted using the Rockwater block...

Looks great, Terry. I love the straight sides.

Thank you buddy. It all starts with a good block. Hard to beat a Rockwater.

Just don’t drop it on your toe T. Damage would be done.

I probably better break out the steel toes. I have a few hats to convert and I'll be using my Rockwater!

Magnificent!

I'll jump on this bandwagon. Jim makes some amazing blocks. Absolutely stunning!

Thanks Randy, the dense mahogany of which it is made should last longer than we can count.
You have a custom taper and crown shape on that one for versatility. Enjoy!
