Decorative Blocks and Pallets For SaleMost of you will know the cost of brass decorative tools, whilst I do not pretend that these blocks and pallets have the attributes of brass tools, none the less they are perfectly useable and cost a small fraction of brass tools.
Bookbinding supplies have never been cheap but these items could give you an ECONOMICAL way into book decoration.
The blocks and pallets are as this photo shows, they are mounted on a 5/8 inch lug.
This is the simple method of holding these blocks I devised, I don't think I need to add very much as the picture tells the story, just be sure to get a nice tight fit, finish it by trial and error.
You can also use a typeholder to hold these blocks.
These blocks and pallets are perfectly suitable for blind tooling as the impressions in the leather show.The deeper of the blocks and pallets are also good for tooling in gilt.

The pallets are at type height.

These four matching corner pieces make a good deep impression as you can see. They always reminded me of the sort of corner devices you see on Bibles.
