   Here are the dimensions of mine, although I don't think they are critical to the function:

   base 2 3/4 x 12 1/2 , 1 1/2 thick

   handle/point presser:  3 3/8 x 16 3/8, 3/4 thick  (all dimensions are in inches)

   The point tapers up from the bottom, and in from the sides.

   Mine is oak--no resin, and nice and heavy.

   Hope this helps.

   Thank you

   I've been wanting to know the same thing and appreciate your taking the time to provide these dimensions.  I have been a sewer for over half a century and have never had a clapper for some reason -- procrastination, laziness, being too cheap to buy one...   LOL.  I've begun to dabble a bit in woodworking, so this will be a perfect project for me.
