Barrington Hardwoods Maple Lumber Boards 3/4" x 6" (3/4" x 6" x 12") (2Pc)

I was a bit nervous buying boards site unseen but this is high quality stuff !!!

There are definitely less expensive options for maple lumber locally, but my work schedule prevents me from getting into the hardwood distributer before they close. Barrington Hardwoods on Amazon are the best alternative to shopping locally. The price is a little higher, but the quality of the wood is as good or better and it's very consistent. These two planks of hard maple arrived quickly, they're defect free, and relatively flat. I have bought lots of wood from them in the past and will continue to do so in the future! Thanks for your service!

This is exactly as advertised,dimensions included. I knocked one star off though, and probably because of my own naivety or too high of expectations. One of these two boards was much darker than the other. I use this wood along with a set of dark walnut for checkerboard cutting boards. With that one dark board I won’t get the contrast I was hoping for. These are just for gifts, I dont sell them or anything , so it’s not like it’s impacting my livelihood. The end result is just not going be as perfect as I’d hoped for. But, it’s luck of the draw.

I ordered 2 Hard Maple boards for a project and I was honestly skeptical at first.. I’ve never ordered hardwood off Amazon but to my surprise, the boards they sent me were nearly perfect. No knots or any kind of alignment issues (bowing, twisting, cupping, etc). In addition, the boards didn’t have any residual moisture or milling marks like tear out, or saw marks. I might of just been lucky enough to get two quality boards, but I definitely will try my luck again with a future order.

I needed 2 pieces of maple to make small shelves for the end of a maple upper kitchen cabinet. There aren't many places to get hardwood anymore, but I was a little worried about buying it online. I was also worried about the size of the wood. Was it 6 inches wide or 6 inches nominal (5 1/2 actual). 3/4 thick or 3/4 nominal (1/2 actual) ? The wood measured at 3/4 x 6 x 12. All dimensions in the ad were the actual dimensions. And no dings, and well sanded, and flat. And perhaps the reason I took a gamble, it had free shipping. Very happy. I later placed a 2nd order for two 3/4 x 6 x 48 pieces of maple. They just arrived, and were just as nice as the first 2. They laid flat on the kitchen table. No bow over the 48 inches. Laying them on top of each other, there was a tiny cup of about .01 inches over the 6 inches, which is almost perfectly flat. VERY HAPPY with every thing I've gotten.
