[+] 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: 1-5/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (6/4 S2S)
- Widths: 4''-8'' variety of widths are in stock, edges are rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available above.
- Lengths: Up to 8' (longer available for local pick up or truck shipment, call for more information)
- Grade: Select & Better. See our page about Hardwood Grading for some details about common lumber grades and their definitions.

    Cherry Game Table, 5.9.2011
|
|
Reviewer: LS (Newaygo, MI)

I am making a Game table and chairs for the place by the lake. I did not find one piece of lumber that I could not use for some part of this project. Being a little new at this I over ordered a little but I should have enough left over for a coffee table. Originally I was going to inlay a Chess board that I had made, into the game table. But I found a piece of cherry for the center board of this table that has center grain on it that looks like a view from the Hubble telescope. I think I will leave the chess board in the drawer and have this grain as my center piece. Some pieces had rough edges but that is what I was looking for for the seats. I will be using WOODWORKERS again.

About 4 years ago I ordered around 200 LBF of the cherry and was very happy with what I got (so happy I'm back shopping for more lumber). Anyways, I over estimated assuming a slightly higher scrap factor since I did not hand pick the lumber, but it was not needed as they did an excellent job of selecting for me. Out of the 200 board foot, I had one board with significant checking and that was it. And in counting the LBF they didn't count the checked part of the board. Anyways great company, and if you have pricey local suppliers, they are an outstanding option!
