It’s a mad, misty, cold start to the 4th of Jul weekend and so armed with a generous
pour of bourbon I’ve started to learn something new thanks to the two Williams . Mr.
Anderson for his beautiful wooden block and Mr. Bailey for his fine tyer’s wax.

Your in for a treat. Both the block and the wax are works of functional art. Hopefully, there is some card stock to store your creations on.

I have been wondering what the card stock is that's included with the dubbing block. Not that I've used up what is included but I'm curious what to look for if I want more. Thanks.

I'm not sure what William uses for his cardstock. I use archival matting board for picture framing. You can buy it in large sheets at most large hobby stores and cut it to size.

Doug, Lance Hidy made those decks of cards to match his father’s cards in size and paper weight. I typically use a smaller card, the size of a baseball card that’s about 120lb Bristol paper. I like that I can buy collector sheets for cards and they store easily.
I love seeing what you guys are doing with your blocks.
