I bought for use in making projects cut with a laser.The sheets are so warped, bowed, twisted and uneven that I have a hard time cutting, as the laser needs a flat surface or the focal point changes and thus the cut quality.The sheets are just stacked in a tight box, no protection at the corners. The box was obviously dropped more than once and the corners of the sheets were damaged.I will use them, but it will require additional handling.EDIT: I have cut several pieces of this wood, and in many places on every sheet the laser refused to cut through. Turns out that there are voids inside that are filled with some sort of very hard filler. Definitely NOT knots, these voids are filled with some sort of filler that is rock hard. The laser cut the top layer, but the center was so hard that I could not cut through with a utility knife. Upshot is that those uncut areas did not break off so I had to recut entire pieces and hope that I did not hit another pocket...which happened a few times.The picture shows where the top layer of wood was torn off and reveals the pocket. (the pink is just the color of the workbench)

Repeat purchase .... As expected ... Thank You

I had one smaller box that was good but then I ordered a 50 board box. Every single board was warped right out of the box, almost making them unusable. Pretty upset.
