And what is the first thing we see on this site? Mike Hogue's cheap knockoff of William's quality Clark blocks :evil: .

Bill,

I have a friend I recently gave him William's email address to order a Clark block from William and he told me this morning in an email he has not received a reply.

John
A good reason to contact Mike Hogue. To be honest, I don't even know if William is still making blocks.

I love William's blocks, but I started on my knee and still prefer it. Just less stuff to work around. But then you almost need a specific pair of tying pants (wax knee). :D

"Dun dyed starling". Intriguing.
