PRESSER
This hat block comes with a presser.
The presser is meant to be used for creating the domed centre to accommodate your head.ย You can use it also as a separate piece to block a pillbox style base, you can mount the saucer hat on this base. The presser has a circular outline.
STRING GROOVE
This hat block set can be ordered with or without a string groove. A string groove is used to tie down the blocked material. Whereas in the other version of the block the material is pinned down with blocking pins.
NOTE – the dolly head is not included, the price is only for the saucer hat block and presser.

This hat block is made from lime tree. This is a local tree that is widely spread in Northern Europe. It is a soft wood with low density and thus easy to pin.
All of our hat blocks are covered with 2-3 layers of varnish for protection. See our blog post How to take care of your hat blocks.
The pictures show a sample item. Each item is hand made in the needed size, but there can be some variation in the natural color and grain of the wood.
