Balsawood hat blocks

Hi,

I have joined Hat Academy, and am very new to millinery. I wonder if anybody knows where I can get balsawood hat blocks (pref in Australia)

Hi Ruth,

There are quite a number of balsawood blocks on eBay.

Yes, that's true, but it seems they are in the USA and the shipping is too much for a poor starter-upper like me!

I have seen this guy in the states making blocks out of expanding foam - my husband is now on a mission!!

Hi Ruth,
Can I ask why you particularly want balsa wood? Is it because easily pinable.

Yes, that is the main reason - like cutting butter with a hot knife
