Wood block cut to form the wedge of a scoop block last. The base of the wedge is slightly curved and comes to an obtuse angle where there is a half-circle face.

The top is rounded over in a concave line where it meets the base creating a thin edge. At this end there is an off-center nail hole. Below the top there is a through-hole 5/16" in diameter. The hole is filled with saw dust.
