Unpainted Wooden Cubes On Sale

Aye, the game pawns are pretty cool and that's an awesome pre-painted price. Unfortunately if your game includes more than just the pawns you'd have a hard time matching colors up (which is why I didn't order any). However if you just need the pawns that deal is probably unbeatable in small quantities.

The House really thrilled me when I saw it and I was going to buy some until I saw that they are 2" W X 1-7/8" T X 1" Thick. Those are pretty darned big.

Aye, no question. I was just hoping to point out the smaller blocks which are currently cheaper at Woodcrafts & Supplies no matter how many you buy. Even at Woodworks' best price (highest quantity) 1/4" blocks and 3/8" blocks are 2.7 cents each. 1/2" blocks are cheaper at Woodworks (at 2.7 cents each instead of 3 cents) if you buy 1000 or more.

This kind of material seems to require a ton of shopping around as prices vary considerably from source to source. I'll have to try Woodworks on some other items, thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip!

I just received my cube order. First the cubes seem to be mostly fine, but there are few problems.

Some of the wood is a bit darker than other in the 1/4" and 3/8" -- if you paint them completely then they'll look the same, but if you dye them then they'll vary. This is pretty common in wood, though, so no real problem.

I ordered 500 1/4" cubes but received a bunch of extras -- 118 extras, in fact. Some of the cubes are a bit malformed, but only about 10 or 20 so the extras make up for it nicely.

I also ordered 500 3/8" cubes but was 53 short. Since about 6 or 7 of them are malformed that puts me about 60 short. I'll write them about that.

I ordered 250 1/2" cubes and again received a bunch of extras -- 69 extras. This is more important with these, to me, because while very few of them are malformed, per se, they vary quite a bit in size -- by at least 1/16" in all directions. They're mostly all cubes but some are just considerably larger or smaller than others.

Overall I'm happy, though being shorted on the 3/8" cubes is disappointing. I was pleasantly suprised by the extras, of course -- in fact the 1/2" cubes came in bags of 100 and they simply sent 3 bags even though I only ordered 2.5 bags.
