Barrington Hardwoods Black Walnut Lumber - 3/4" x 6" x 12" (2)

**READ FIRST BEFORE LOOKING AT MY PICTURES** My 2x atttached pictures were pictures I took after applying some danish oil. I didn’t grab a picture before I hit them with the danish oil but the other photos on other reviews are accurate as to what the boards look like. The shiny board is an almost finished board with 5 costs of polyurethane. These boards were five star quality. Albeit a bit expensive compared to your local lumbar yard I would imagine, these boards were perfect for what I wanted. I have never worked on wood before and this was my first time giving a shot at it. The wood was evenly planed and was ready to go right off the bat. All I did was give a quick sand down with 120 followed by 220 grit and it was pristine. I would definitely buy again. My only regret is not getting a larger board. I didn’t want to risk destroying a more expensive piece of wood on my first time ever finishing something, but as of now my shelves to be are coming along great. The boards were true to measurement, even/symmetrical with each other, flat and planed perfectly, etc. The grain was absolutely beautiful on these boards as well. In addition to all of that, the boards I received had no knicks, dings, or other processing imperfections as far as I could tell. Please excuse if any of my woodworking lingo is wrong.

Exceptional quality in dryness, flatness and squarness! These boards make my plaques look beautifull !

This size of walnut plank was perfect for a small project. The grain is nice as I expected. But, my order was shipped simply with a clear plastic clear wrap with a shipping label. No padding. I suspect that's why the corner edges on my boards were dinged a bit, which detracts from the otherwise perfect edges on the boards.

I placed two back to back orders with the seller for different sized walnut boards to build a pegboard with moveable shelves. When there was an issue with the order, I contacted Dirk. He responded quickly and was ready to replace the items, but fortunately, due to him contacting the middle man (Amazon won't let me talk about the issue since it wasn't an issue with the seller or product), the order arrived in perfect condition. The boards were beautiful without blemishes, knots, cracks, etc. I would definitely buy again.

good going to use them for a chess board beautiful grain

I ordered 3 2 board packs and all the boards are very nice, well dimensioned and flattened with very nice grain and little to no defects - the tiniest knot on one and a very slight twist to another (which could have happened after I brought them into my shop). I'll order again should I need them!

One of the two boards got seriously nicked during transport. Packaging is rather soft at the edges. The other one has a significant warp suggesting uneven drying or moisture change. Both boards need quite some work to make use of them. Not recommended in this condition.

overall quality of the walnut was good but sloppy cross-cut. The ends were not square so I had to cut some of the ends off to make them square.
