That tail block is Black Walnut. I find putting a little extra weight on the tail not only helps with the comfort of play because the guitar balances better but, the extra weight there also helps add a little more sustain. I used some of the Black Walnut from my special1850 stash so it's quite seasoned and unlikely to ever crack.
