Find a Store
I've used several of these blanks for projects with great success! I think my advantage over the others who wrote reviews is that I was able to visit the store to pick them out. Yes, they're cut inconsistently, but there are blanks large and smaller than the size advertised. Some of them have gorgeous figuring!

NOT 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 x 6 as advertised and POOR quality
Ok when I ordered these they were advertised and 2-5/8 x 2-5/8 x 6 .. most of the 6 I ordered were less than 2-1/4 " and some less than 2" and all were no more than 5-1/2" long Worse was that several were so poor quality they looked almost like OAK .. very bland with no figuring at all unhappy camper to say the least

Misleading
Claro Walnut Blank - 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" x 6-1/4" This is the description looking at the item prior to actually selecting the item to look at the description. Note the size. Selecting the item states 2 x 2 5/8 x 6 1/4. I guess I need to be more careful as I am very disappointed they are not at least 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 6. Woodcraft needs to correct this on there Web Site.

Undersized and Cracked
I thought I'd try out several of these blanks when they were listed previously as 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" x 6-1/4". Sadly several were less than 2-1/4" wide and one was no longer than 5" making them useless for what I intended. Another had a large check/crack running through it and a couple of others were fairly poor quality, so I think I'll avoid buying these online from Woodcraft now on. Definitely not recommended.
