[+] 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: 13/16'' 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.
- Grade: Craft Packs contain clear shorts. See our page about Hardwood Grading for some details about common lumber grades and their definitions.

To my supprise the order came very quick but, once I opened my order I was wishing that they had spent a little more time on wood selection than trying to get my order out so quick. The 10 board feet of Sapele came and 3 of the 6 boards have big knots right in the middle of the board which made them unusable for my project. On the up side there shipping is quick and customer service was good.

Sapele with knots? VERY unusual. Customer service will be in contact with you today about getting that replaced. Thank you for speaking up!

Not only was the wood beautiful but the service, quality and promptness (I ordered on Friday and got it Wednesday) of delivery was excellent. You guys have it together and I look forward to many more purchases. I live in Las Vegas so I plan to come and visit the store sometime soon.
Keep up the good work and all the best.

    Better than Mahogany IMO, 7.13.2009

Considering how tough it is to get good quality honduran mahogany these days, sapele is my new choice. In some regards it looks better and works just as nicely. And it's less money. One of my latest projects was a sideboard made from this wood and I think it came out great. Sapele is also favorable to work with, so I'll be using it more and more in the future.
