Anyone purchased either of these cores?

Either the Poplar or the Maple.

If so, are there any pictures? and how well did they work?

Seems like $25 is pretty cheap compared to what I would be paying in Lumber costs.

Just dont want to waste money

That maple core is for narrow skis, or race boards.

I bought my first cores from there. I bought them profiled and drilled. I still have a few.

They are decent. Not bookmatched, they have quite a few finger joints, holes aren't drilled perfectly squared or centered. The taper is short, but accurate.

Probably a pretty standard core. If you want higher quality and still a good price, go with Wednesday.

I bought my first core from them as well. I bought the profiled version. I never used it becuase it was my first board and I screwed up cutting the shape. If you want a good practice core its probably a good idea because it will be cheaper and a lot less effort then making one yourself.

I got 5 of their poplar snowboard cores last year.

They are ok, the profiling is very rough and took alot of sanding to clean up
