I agree with you Ron N. I've done this many times. When a really 
thick pin block is required, just glue and extra thickness of a hard 
timber on the base of the pinblock blank before cutting it out (rock 
maple or harder, ie. 0.7 gr/cc or denser). It will work very well. If 
its glued and clamped on a flat surface, it will cure quite flat 
enough that it can be fitted up to a plate and securely screwed.
