Cancharana could rank as one of the nicest woods to work - low cutting resistance, responds quite well to hand planes and other hand tools, and you'll get a smooth and clean finish every time. While the raw material has a maroon red color, you'll have a dark chocolate brown after a clear top coat.
Sizes you can expect:
Thickness
13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S) |
Widths
4''-10'' with the edges still rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (available above with your order). |
Lengths Up to 8' |

[+] What if I need specific sizes? You'll have to cut your own pieces to size. Hardwood lumber is sold as a bulk raw product, which means that our stacks of lumber have a big variety of sizes most often from 4" up to 12" wide, and 6' to 16' long.
- Only some unusual exotic woods are narrower than 4" and under 6' long. This is clearly stated when that's the case, everything else is larger.
- We always ship the longest boards possible, and rarely ship boards less than 48" long unless you request shorter. The longest we can ship by UPS is 96" (that's 8').
For general fine woodworking, the various widths and lengths meet the needs and desires of woodworkers building furniture, cabinetry, and fine woodwork. But we do understand that certain projects have some requirements, and we're happy to help you out.
Here's how we can help you get the sizes you need:
- We can hand-select material that will yeild what you need. Type your needs into the "Selection" field right above the Add to Cart button above when you place your order. 4 things to know about size requests
- We can do some custom milling or cutting. Please call or email to talk about your needs.
- Thickness: 13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S)
- Widths: 4''-10'' with the edges still rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (available above with your order).
- Lengths: Up to 8'
- Grade: Select & Better. See our page about Hardwood Grading for some details about common lumber grades and their definitions.
