Very nice board for a reasonable price
I'm no expert luthier, but this board compares very favorably with the boards that I have from StewMac. Sealed with wax on both ends, arrived in good shape finished on all sides with little curvature. The wood has a nice pattern and it is quite thick for a fretboard. There is a lot of room for sanding, putting in a compound radius, etc. Would definitely repeat.
