2-1/2" Wooden Cube

2-1/2" Maple Wood Cube — Large Unfinished Block for Professional-Grade Projects

The 2-1/2 inch (63.50 mm) maple wood cube is a kiln-dried, solid hardwood block crafted from fine closed-grain maple. This precision-cut cube features 90-degree corners and a smooth, raw surface ideal for painting, staining, laser engraving, or woodburning techniques. Engineered to support woodworking, educational builds, or custom DIY design, it delivers stable performance and uniformity for technical and artistic applications.

Suggested Uses

The 2-1/2" maple cube excels as a foundation for demonstration blocks in STEM classrooms, hands-on geometry lessons, or large-format project builds requiring robust wooden components. Its weight and stability make it a preferred choice for custom dice, stacking blocks in early childhood classrooms, or practice blanks for engineers learning CNC machining. In the arts, the block serves as a striking base for laser-engraved sculpture displays, oversized custom photo cubes, or painted risers for gallery exhibits. For a distinctive application, try incorporating this size as a calibration block or mallet head blank—taking advantage of its density and precision for technical accuracy in workspaces or workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the cubes exactly 2-1/2" on all sides?
  Yes, each block measures 2-1/2" (63.50 mm) with a tolerance of ±0.01", ensuring precision for technical or assembly tasks.
• Is the wood ready for painting, staining, or engraving?
  The cubes arrive sanded smooth and unfinished, perfect for immediate custom finishing without further prep work.
• Will these work for model making or calibration use?
  Absolutely—the true square corners, tight sizing, and solid construction meet demanding fit standards in modeling and calibration projects.
• Do the cubes splinter easily when cut or drilled?
  Maple’s fine, closed-grain structure minimizes splinter risk; standard woodworking tools are recommended for best results.
• How heavy is each block?
  Each cube weighs approximately 6.56 oz (186 g), providing substantial mass for a stable build or display.
• Is this block made of laminated pieces or a single maple section?
  Each cube is crafted from a single piece of maple hardwood for uniform texture and strength.
• Can I order large quantities or bulk packs?
  Yes, single cubes, multi-packs, and bulk orders are available to suit classroom, workshop, or production requirements.
• How do I store these for long-term use?
  Store cubes in a dry environment at stable temperatures to maintain their shape and quality indefinitely.
• Can the cubes be used for technical calibration in workshops?
  Yes, their consistent sizing and sharp edges make them suitable as calibration blocks or test references in technical environments.
• Are the corners safe for children’s play?
  The edges are square and crisp; light sanding is recommended if blocks are to be handled by young children.

Add these 2-1/2" maple wood cubes to your next educational, technical, or artistic project for assured uniformity and the rugged reliability of premium hardwood. Their natural finish and robust grain make them ideal for repeated handling, custom finishing, and applications demanding precise, stable wooden components.
