I am trying to decide between solid 3/4 pre-finished 3" mullican maple and 3 1/4" Somerset maple both with natural finishes. Somerset is cheaper but I am not sure of any significant quality differences between the two brands.

In addition, while I like the wider 4" and 5" planks I am hesitant to get maple in such wide lengths due to the greater potential for cupping.

Any thoughts on which product is better?

they are very comprable brands. No huge diffence that I am aware of.

Thanks, I decided to go with the Mullican Maple 3". Got a good price from True Hardwood.
