1) Submitted by Paul, from Beaverton, OR on 9/4/2012 Customer Rating: I was not expecting much from this box, but for the price it was too good to pass up. I was surprised to find that there was a large selection of small boards of Bloodwood as well as Purple Heart my wee daughters favorite and some 1/4" planks of zebrawood and I think walnut. There were other smaller blanks that could be useful for pens and a some smaller ones than those that would make great trim for smaller boxes and projects. As far as I can see, I'll be getting at least a few more boxes to use in various projects. Great product.

2) Submitted by R. Morris, from Dorothy, NEW JERSEY on 5/2/2011 Customer Rating: I just recieved 3 boxes of these last week and am ordering 4 more. Why, you ask? Well, first off it is environmentally friendly to use these as they are cutoffs that would ordinarily be thrown away if not used. I make small boxes and these pieces are perfect for what I enjoy doing. I also have the feeling in maybe a few years it is going to be difficult, if not very expensive and next to impossible to get a hold of some of these species of wood at this price. Granted, it takes a lot of milling and work to get these pieces into usable proportions, but it is well worth the effort. I am stocking up for many years to come so that I always have a good selection of exotics. I will probably order even more soon again. Great bargain for those that like to build small items or make their own inlays. The present price can not be beat!!!

3) Submitted by Cassandra, from Jackson, MISSISSIPPI on 4/14/2011 Customer Rating: I am a novice woodworker, and thought I would try for some different wood for a few gift ideas. I guess if I were turning I would have been very pleased. I only have access to this machine in class. Therefore, I don't know what to do with such pretty pieces.

4) Submitted by Greg, from Philadelphia, PA on 2/7/2011 Customer Rating: I got a great selection in my box, a couple real nice turning blanks as well as decent sized boards and some interesting unique pieces. The only complaint I have is that none of the pieces are labeled or identified in any way. There are a few pieces that I would love to have more of, but I have no idea what they are. But I will be ordering it again.

5) Submitted by Ken Siegel, from Colville, WA on 1/16/2011 Customer Rating: I have purchased the hardwood assortments many times and am always happy with what I get, so I thought I would try the exotic assortment. Loved them! I will be getting more!

6) Submitted by Robert Leigh, from Los Angeles, CA on 10/24/2010 Customer Rating: This is the second box of exotic cutoffs I have purchased and both have been the best investment in exotic woods I have made. The amount of usable wood exceeded my expectations and more. Just a few of the pieces would have cost me twice the purchase price if bought separately. This was a store purchase but the quality and the amount of usable wood is well worth the price.

7) Submitted by Sam Taylor, from Elizabethton, TN on 10/14/2010 Customer Rating: Ordered one box just as a trial to check. I was afraid it would just be kindling. Wow was I wrong, I did not expect such large pieces and such a wide range of species. I have completed 4 projects so far and still have a lot of wood left. I will purchase again and recomment this to all.
