Since setting up as a woodturner I have been asked  if I could make a variety of items. One such request  was a fascinator hat block and I have since made a number of them for  customers. As a woodturner I only do  round so limit my involvement with hat blocks to  simple round fascinator blocks of either 120mm or 150mm diameter. They are made of American Tulipwood which although soft is a little harder than Obeche which is used for blocks
