Scrap hard woods

I said a while back that I had ordered some hard wood scraps for making cutting boards.
I ordered three boxes, from different suppliers. Two from amazon.com and one from Ebay.
They have all arrived and I am sorting them out to see what I can come up with as far as cutting boards.
All three boxes came with some very nice pieces of wood. A good mixture and all pieces in very good shape.
Of all three boxes, only two pieces of black walnut will need a little bit of trimming due to bad spots. But, all
in all, I am happy with what I received. I felt that buying woods from the internet is a lot like buys fruits in a bag in a grocery store.
It is a Crap shoot at best. But, again. I am happy with what I got and probably will reorder again from these same folks.
Here are some shots of the wood spread out on my work bench. I'll try to post pictures as I get started on the boards.
Just because Theo said I have to. smile. All pieces are 12 inches long and 3/4 think at least.

And price per box? Shipping charges?

Looks like a reasonable investment.

I just took a quick look at Amazon and found several sources there. Would be helpful to know the supplier?

Definitely looks to be a good find. Who’d a thunk it.

It looks like plenty of wood to keep you busy for a while.
