Here are Some More Choices in Jatoba You Might Like:
Oh, where to begin? Jatoba is one remarkable wood that yields nearly 100% perfect wood because the tree forms a long trunk that's free of branches for 80 feet or so. Plus the color is suggestive of classic American cherry, deep red with a decidedly wood look. Yes, this wood is hard and dense but happily you won't be replacing your bits and blades because of that. When you finish this wood, you'll get a glass-smooth result practically one handed.
Sizes you can expect:
Thickness
13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S) |
Widths
4''-12'' with the edges still rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (available above with your order). |
Lengths Up to 8'. Longer lengths may be available for local pick up or truck freight shipment. Contact us to verify. |

Lumber Thicknesses Compared:
[+] 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: 13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S)

Reviewer: John Prebish (Spokane, WA)

I'm a fan of Mahogany and Walnut. When I opened the package, my jaw dropped! The beauty of the grain and color, plus completely straight boards. This customer's for life. I feel like a kid in a candy store and Miss February's at the register.

    Jatoba Order Review, 3.28.2012

The wood was nice with only slight warping. I would have liked a more reddish color, but most of the wood was in the same color range.

The wood is much better in person . If you know what I mean.... The color is very nice, It will blend perfect with some hickory I have. And make a very attractive Cutting Board.

Exactly as I requested, this board was of the quality I expect from WWS, perfect. The sizing was as ordered as well. Thanks again for honoring my request for delayed shipping.
