4" X 2" Wood Block

• Sanded smooth surface arrives ready for paint, stain, or direct lettering without extra prep.
• 2" width matches the paired SQ2000 and SQ2005 cubes, keeping stacked digits and labels level.
• Unfinished maple takes stain or sealer evenly, letting the block match the tone of a customized set.
• Multiple flat faces support separate labels per block — one side for "Months," another for "Days" or "Weeks" — so a single piece covers more than one use.
• Pairs directly with two 2" hardwood cubes to complete a full milestone number display without sourcing mismatched stock.
• Rectangular block form sits flush under the stacked cubes, keeping the finished display steady for photos.

Pair this maple block with two SQ2000 or SQ2005 cubes to build an age-tracking milestone set for baby photos, using the cubes for the month or week number and this block lettered with "Months" or "Weeks." The same setup works as a countdown display for an upcoming birthday, vacation, or holiday, with the cubes tracking the days or weeks remaining. Add a second block lettered with a holiday name — "Thanksgiving" on one face and "Christmas" or "Halloween" on others — alongside a matching unit block, so one set of blocks covers multiple countdown occasions through the year. Laser engraving is the most common method makers use to add this lettering, since the unfinished maple surface engraves cleanly and holds crisp, permanent detail. Because the block ships unfinished, it can also be painted or stained to match a nursery color scheme or themed photo backdrop, whether that's done before or after engraving.

• Does this block match the size of the SQ2000 and SQ2005 cubes?
  Yes — it's 2" wide, matching the width of both the SQ2000 Hardwood Premium Cube and the SQ2005 Hardwood Craft Cube, so the pieces line up when stacked.
• How consistent are the dimensions across a pack?
  Each block is held to a tolerance of ±0.01" (±0.25 mm) per side, so pieces from the same pack stack evenly without noticeable gaps.
• Does the block need sanding before I paint or stain it?
  No. It arrives with a sanded smooth surface and unfinished maple, ready for paint, stain, or sealer without extra prep.
• Is the block solid maple?
  Yes, it's made from solid maple with no secondary materials.
• What is this block used for?
  It's the label piece in a milestone-block display. Paired with two 2" hardwood cubes, the cubes show a two-digit number (like "12") and this block spells out the unit, such as "Months" or "Days."
• Can I use the same block for more than one word?
  Yes. Each block has multiple flat faces, so you can letter different words on separate sides — for example "Months" on one face and "Weeks" on another — and reuse the same block across projects.
• Why does the set use two cubes instead of one?
  The two cubes together display a two-digit number, such as a baby's age in months or the days remaining in a countdown, while this block carries the accompanying label.

This 4" x 2" x 2" maple block gives milestone-block builds a matched, unfinished base that pairs cleanly with the SQ2000 and SQ2005 cubes. Its sanded surface and multi-face design mean one block can carry more than one label across different countdown or age-tracking sets. Sold in 10-packs or 100-packs, it fits both single custom builds and larger production runs.
