We process a lot of wood in our shop. This generates a lot of scrap wood. Wood with knots, cracks, or the ends cut off of boards. Intarsia folks, or others looking for nice variety packs love this wood. In our shop we work with Maple, Cherry, Elm, Purpleheart, Cedar, Yellowheart, Bloodwood, Ash, Oak, Mahogany, Ash, Poplar, Pine, Walnut, and much more. Your box will contain at a minimum, 2 of these species....probably more. Have fun...it's like opening a candy box !
