Fedora crown block

[RBH]

....., there is no reason in the world that someone can't use a wood pre-shaped block for felt work.

I use one at Mike Moores shop all the time. Its my favorite block shape.
I also used it to reblock my milan Stratoliner.

Three minutes into this video Gary White use a sculptured block to crease a fedora:

I have read several posts from other loungers, who had great success with these hat shapers. I don't consider them suited for actual blocking, but for changing/freshening of a crease, I would think, they are fine ... I haven't tried.
