Notes
You can cut your own wood blocks from a 2 x 6 or whatever size you like. Sand down the edges and use them for the blocks. You may also be able to adjust the size of the prints using your printing software as the images here are 6 x 6 inches and a 2 x 6 piece of lumber is really 1.5 inches x 5.5 inches.
