    I had to make some of these recently because I couldn't find them locally or online. I then discovered that these days they are called something completely different and I could have bought them had I known the "correct" description.

    I know what these used to be called down here, but what were they called locally to you ?

    A architrave corner block & I have used that name for the last 40 years, & I am one of the older generation.:)

    Some older peeps than me, might refer to it as a Rosette Corner.

    I have always known them as roundals, bullseyes or rosettes - never heard them called architrave corner blocks before.

    correct that's where I saw afterwards. Searched for all sorts of key words and it never appeared. When I was looking for some prices on chamfered architrave it was on the page

    Roundels is heraldry or aircraft markings to me, never heard them called bulleyes either,only windows called that.

    Yep, used to have a big box of them but used them up over the years and the local salvage yard stopped doing stuff like that ages ago. I remembered my neighbour had a cutter and now have a box full again
