INCLUDES 1 WOOD BLANK (several blanks are shown to indicate the range of color/grain to expect). These are all fresh cut and wax sealed. Air dried for 2 years as of September 2017. May contain some residual moisture. Nice violet purples. The black in the photos are just on the surface and will easily turn away. As this ages and picks up UV light it will turn a purple color, usually within a couple of days.
