These are Schaff’s rotary cut multi-lam maple, capped with 9mm Delignit. Double plank, 19”x58” Single plank, 7.5”<11.5”x58” Until I sell enough of these to put a 20" planer into the budget, I can only offer the double blocks in approximately 1.6" thickness. I can plane the singles to whatever you want under 1.6" Delignit 9mm capping material only, for pinblocks. 19”x58” (double) 7.5”<11.5”x58” (single) Delignit 9mm capping leftovers, for bridge capping, tooling, inlays, or whatever. 9.5”x25” 36”x26.5” For those unfamiliar with this stuff, who understandably don't want to commit to the price of a block to find out if they like it or not, I'm offering 2-1/2"x4"x1.6" samples of capped block for $10, including mailing. This will give you enough acreage to fit a dozen or so pins to test the feel and make an informed judgment. I really like these blocks, and I think you will too. I'd be happy to supply you some.
