[+] 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: 1-13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (8/4 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.

    8/4 Maple Hard White sample, 4.22.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Fred (, CA)

This product arrived quickly and solidly met my expectations. The dimensions were amply within my stated rqmts and the sample was clear and defect-free. I intend to order much more of this product now that I know it is of superior quality.
My ONLY complaint is the extraordinary cost of shipping; I could've shipped a piece of equipment, 20x the weight of this piece of wood, cross-country, for the cost of rcvg this small piece of wood. Wish you could find a much more cost-effective solution to this cost.

The product is first rate. It is clear, straight grained, and very flat, even for maple. Packaging and delivery were flawless.

They were all warped and twisted. I had to build a taper jig to surface 2 sides. I couldn't use them straight out of the box on my jointer.Some got nasty grain that planning them get them even rougher.They were not cheap either.
