Full size sugar pine block?

[RichZ]

Any one know where I could find a full size (1 3/4" x 1 1/4" x 7" ) standard SSG Sugar pine block?

I don't have any full size. You could glue a few together.

That's what I was thinking too... If you just wanted the foundation/drilling to be solid and the height for design, then just glue a standard BSA block to the top of a sugar pine block. Some wood glue and a couple clamps would do the trick.

And if that's the case, you could use a balsa block to save weight.

PM to SoGone. I think he has some.

unenlightened derby obsessor here: What is the difference between sugar pine blocks and the BSA pine blocks? I ordered a few from John to satisfy my curiosity, but it seems to be the wood of choice. Haven't understood why though.

Quality and weight. BSA blocks are third rate at best. lol
