Walnut Lumber 3/4" x 2" (3/4" x 2" x 18") (2 Pcs)

I purchased the Barrington Hardwoods Walnut Lumber - 3/4" x 2" x 12" (4 Pcs) to use for a project of replacing a small 1 3/4" x 2 5/8" square at the top of my Gramma's 1880's Eastlake cottage style walnut hall mirror that I recently inherited from my very generous aunt. The price was so affordable that I picked up the set of 4 vs just two pieces to have extra for matching the stain and just in case I might need to replace any other pieces in the future. At some point over the past 140+ years, a piece of the walnut mirror's front top left corner fell off and was not recovered so I decided to try to find some good quality walnut pieces to cut, sand and stain to match. I've already done a thorough cleaning and conditioning of the mirror frame and matching walnut with rose marble top parlor table so I can now work on replacing the missing piece.

I was hesitant at first—buying lumber off Amazon felt a bit strange—but the positive reviews convinced me to give it a shot. And I’m glad I did! The walnut lumber arrived quickly and was beautifully surfaced on all four sides, ready to use right out of the box. I still ran it through my jointer and planer just to be safe, but honestly, it probably didn’t need it. If you don’t have a local lumberyard or need quality wood delivered fast without steep delivery fees, this is a fantastic option! Made some beautiful cutting boards.

It's rare that I get internet purchased lumber in such a square & flat state. Very little work to do, could be glued to make bigger pieces straight out of the box. Good stuff.

I have been using this to make Christmas ornaments - cut the outline and then rip them in half to get 2 ornaments. The wood is nice looking and quite clear of knots and any other imperfections. Good stuff.

Good

Quality wood product

I received my order of two 3/4"x 2"x 18" walnut boards today, and everything was exactly as expected. The grain isn't straight this time (as it has been in the past) but honestly I kind of like it better than straight grain. The grain pattern looks amazing (see photos). No knots, warps, tearout, etc. Exact dimensions exactly as advertised. They're great pieces of walnut. Honestly, you can't go wrong with this stuff. You get exactly what you expect to get, and it's reliable. I built a plane till out of my last shipment and it all went together perfectly and looks great.

Slightly warped 24" boards. They almost look and feel ashy. Not talking about ash wood, either. Any dryer and they might have started to char. I'm sure they will suck up the oil. I won't be back with a larger order.
