You would think that the O would be one of the simplest, most uniform blocks in the alphabet, right? Well, this one has quite a few un-uniform characteristics about it. Notice the differences in the arches at the sides of the letterform. The counter is also quite irregular. The left side has a straight edge, but the right has a bit of an curve to it. I love the reddish color this wood has, and the grain is nice and clear. In person, this block has such a shiny finish, it’s very slick. I love handling the blocks from this set!
