    Woodcraft replaced damaged board.

    Wood wea not consistant in color and the second in order was not only bowed but was cracked on one end. Crack was just short of 5 inches and went completely through wood. Called about sending back but was told that piece would be replaced. Three days later a good replacement arrived. Maybe I should give 5 star? But rated this on initial shipment.

    Each piece is cut as measured and edges are true, straight and square. Thanks. Being used for a pair of octagonal speaker enclosures for a high end full range 7 inch speakers. This wood was chosen not only for it's density but also its colour.
