Mine tend to be any chunk of scrap with a hole drilled in it. Quick and dirty. I keep threatening to make a real bolster block if I can ever find a piece of 2" plate about a foot square. Drill a series of graduated holes in it, chamfer them and put it on a sturdy stand. Also have a shorter stand for "floor" use when squaring tenon seats on long pieces. Someday.

Ron it should be thick enough for the type of work you do.
