These superb untreated tropical hardwood railway sleepers were destined for the railways but were unused on the track for a variety of reasons. As such they are being sold as 'slightly imperfect' or 'seconds' because the pre-drilling was inaccurate, or the overall size a few mm out, or maybe a fractional crack that was outside of Network Rail's strict parameters or slightly bowed. They are mainly square edged & cut in the last couple of years or so. As they season or dry out, they may slightly shrink by a few mm or so. This is naturally dependent on temperature & humidity and can naturally cause the timber to develop thin cracks. These tropical hardwood railway sleepers can have knots, blemishes, or insect holes and can be slightly bowed or warped along the length. 

These railway sleepers were intended to be installed on the British railways without any form of treatment, and expected to last for more than 50 years, being such a uniquely dense & tight grained timber. They are unbeatable for long term projects. These are very hard railway sleepers. You'll need a circular saw / chainsaw / powered saw to cut these timbers.
