[+] 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: Project Packs contain 20 board feet (or slightly more), which tends to be approximately 4 to 7 boards depending on the size
- Thickness: 13/16'' thick, surfaced smooth two sides (4/4 S2S)
- Widths: 4''-12'' variety with rough edges. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (see above).

    Table Top, 2.13.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Russ Mayo (Phoenix, AZ)

I'm making a table top out Brazilian Cherry. The table top required almost 40 board feet to complete. I was concerned how it would look since it would be made up of many individual pieces. It required a lot of sanding with a number of coats of high gloss Tung Oil. The colors and grain exceeded my expectations; this wood is very beautiful when finished.

    Jatoba review by a moderately advanced worker, 1.26.2012
|
|
Reviewer: JAW (Virginai Beach, VA)

This was my first online experience in buying wood, so my expectations could well have been too high. It's also my first use of Jatoba which is a dense but easily worked wood with beautiful color and character. All pieces I received were 6 ft long and packaged very well (bubble-wrapped and well bundled). Widths varied from 4 1/2 to 10 1/2 wide. I ordered no edge joining so both edge joined and planed the pieces. One or two boards were wany, but able to be used as shorter pieces. There were a few insect defects, most of which could be used for 'character'. There were a few flat sections too rough to use, but again could be worked around. The package was sold as 20 bd ft, but actual measure of the rough boards was 22 - 23 bd ft, so allowance was made for the rough parts. Overall I was quite pleased with both the character and workability of Jatoba and the delivery and quality from Woodworkers Source. I would order from them again.

I used to like this wood more but it seems to be going up in price the last couple of years. Always liked how it was so strong & heavy. Looks beautiful with an oil finish.
