3/4" x almost 5.5" x 8'
Not 6 inches in width, almost 5 1/2 inches. The quality of the wood seems nice but the width is off.

Needed to make a plank to make the back of a display case I was making, all in cedar. It cleaned up nicely, but tended to splinter a bit while squaring it up. Also the color was very light compared to the pictured board on this site. It worked very well for the purpose I needed.

Took a while to find decent boards in the store. 70 percent weren't usable for my project. Product is thinner than other cedar I had purchased in the past, and only finished on one side.
