Wooden Mario Question Block 1ups Your Desk

In the Mushroom Kingdom, a question mark block can be filled with all kinds of goodies. Will a gold coin pop out? Maybe a super mushroom or a fire flower? Regardless of what Mario gets, there’s a pretty good chance it’ll be something nice. About the only time a question mark block will have nothing inside of it is when it’s made out of a solid block of wood.

Etsy seller Branson Customs makes these miniature Mario question mark blocks from solid oak wood. They measure about 2-3/8″ across, and all six sides have been engraved with the iconic “?” – for a nice bit of depth. Sadly, you won’t get any coins when you punch this thing, just a bruised knuckle – so don’t try that.

Each one is made to order and if it looks like they’re sold out, check the Branson Customs Etsy shop to look for additional listings. While you’re there, check out the carved wood Hylian shield and Triforce for Zelda fans.
