[+] 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

This project was a breeze-the Bubinga was much easier to sand and finish than I anticipated...
Highly Recommend

Not having worked with this wood before I was very pleased with the quality of the wood. It has no knots and is blemis free on both sides. I will be able to use 100% of this product as the boards have an even and tight grain through out the entire length. It will be perfect for the project I have in mind to make,a set of Dolphins in profile.

I was surprised and very pleased with the extra wide boards and their uniformity, quality and beauty (first time use of Bubinga). Delivery was excellent and packaging was excellent.
The wood is hard but forgiving. My first project for this wood is new handles for an antique Bailey hand plane. Turning the wood was slow but consistent and the tote shaping was fairly easy. I really like the results - almost finished the handles.

Excellent product. Wood was first quality and the boards were wide and straight without defects. I will be ordering more in the future.

    First Bubinga Purchase, 5.14.2010

I never bought Bubinga before, but the special last month gave me the oportunity to take a look at it. While I haven't used it yet, I can say it is beautiful wood. The boards are flat, and to my surprise, the widest is a full 13". I can't wait to get started with it, but alas, the lawn needs cutting.
