[+] 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.
Ground Shipping is included anywhere in the 48 U.S.! (What does that mean?)
- Quantity: A total of 10 board feet (or slightly more) are included, approximately 5 to 8 boards depending on the size
- Thickness: 15/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S) Additional planing to a different thickness is also available (see above).
- Widths: 3''-8'', with rough edges. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well, see above.
- Lengths: 24''-48'', with the ends trimmed. Each pack contains a variety of lengths.

    Beech wood, 2.6.2011

European Beech is an excellent wood for toys as well as for furniture. Its grain is mostly straight. It is a great wood for hand tools. Planing is a pleasure.

First time I've worked with Birch. I found it works easily and the first woodturning using it it seems to turn well.

I love working with beech. I've had some of my clients say it's too bland when they see the pictures, but when I show them a real finished furniture piece they change their minds. I usually include a high contrast wood with it, mahogany is nice or ebonized poplar really looks great.

Made a sideboard and coffee table out of beech last year. I was really happy with the way it worked and finished. Inexpensive too.
