Beautiful wood
Overall I am pleased but there was one piece with a little bark inclusion on one corner of the long grain that I'll have to cut out or epoxy. Not a big deal and, arguably, should be expected.

Outstanding color and character
For small projects such as keepsake boxes this is an excellent choice.

Not quite as advertised
One of the boards had a slight crack and two others were closer to 11 inches instead of 12. It was advertised as all boards were at least 12 inches. However, some of the others were more than 12 so I guess I got what I paid for.

Disappointed
All of the pieces had pretty severe snipe on both ends. Not sure why they were planed and allowed to ship like that. Some of the snipe was 1/2" difference to the middle of the piece.
Familiarity: I've used it in a LOT of projects

Not quite as advertised
It does look nice and I am anxious to find a reason to use it. However, only 8 of the pieces were 12+ inches in length. The other 2 were about 11 inches. Just a bit disappointing since that is not what is advertised. The boards are thicker than 3/4, but many do have planer marks that will need to be taken out in order to use them.

Morado 4/4 Short Boards
Good value for the money if you need accent pieces for small projects like wooden boxes. The boards have a great grain pattern. Only downside was several boards with surface planing problems (end snipe, light burns, hit and miss spots etc.) This was easily fixed by a light abrasive planning as the material I received was 15/16. Still plenty of material to resaw the narrow boards and finish up with two 3/8" of really nice finished stock.
