Button Style in Resource not Applied to Buttons

Can someone please explain to me why this doesn't work? The Buttons in the ToolBar are not getting the Black BorderBrush property setting. I've tried TargetType="Button" and TargetType="{x:Type Button}" but neither work. I've done almost exactly the same thing for a series of Labels and it worked fine. I'm pretty new to WPF. Is there something I'm not understanding about style precedence here? Thanks!

...Window Definition...

<Grid>
    <Grid.Resources>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
        </Style>
    </Grid.Resources>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
        <RowDefinition Height="*" />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <ToolBar Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Margin="0">
        <Button>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Height="Auto">
                <Rectangle Width="16" Height="16" Fill="LightBlue" VerticalAlignment="Center"></Rectangle>
                <Label Padding="0" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left">Redraw</Label>
            </StackPanel>
        </Button>
        ... More Buttons ...
    </ToolBar>
</Grid>

... End Window Definition ...

here you go

<Style x:Key="{x:Static ToolBar.ButtonStyleKey}"
       TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
    <Setter Property="BorderBrush"
            Value="Black" />
</Style>

from How to: Style Controls on a ToolBar

The ToolBar defines ResourceKey objects to specify the style of controls within the ToolBar. To style a control in a ToolBar, set the x:key attribute of the style to a ResourceKey defined in ToolBar.

The ToolBar defines the following ResourceKey objects:

  • ButtonStyleKey
  • CheckBoxStyleKey
  • ComboBoxStyleKey
  • MenuStyleKey
  • RadioButtonStyleKey
  • SeparatorStyleKey
  • TextBoxStyleKey
  • ToggleButtonStyleKey
