[+] 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''-10'' variety with rough edges. Straight line ripping on one edge is available as well (see above).
- Lengths: 4'-8', and each pack contains an assortment
- Grade: Select & Better. See our page about Hardwood Grading for some details about common lumber grades and their definitions.

 Not so good order, 3.27.2012
|
|
Reviewer: Bill Brown (Corpus Christi, Texas)
|
I've made multiple orders with Woodworkerssource, and have been mostly pleased with what was delivered. I came to depend upon good, quality wood at workable lengths and widths. Often what was deliverd was 8' booards. Twice, I received 7' lengths. With my most recent order, the longest board was 6' and one was less than 3'. I like the wood, but can't depend on what lengths I get. I build cabinets and shelves with the lumber and require sometimes the boards to be 8', with a minimum of 7'. I feel like I got the cutoffs from someone elses order. Although I got 20 bdft, not happy with the lengths. How can I ensure I get the lengths I want if I order in the future?

Woodworkers Source Responds
We're not too rigid, Bill. If the advertised lengths aren't satisfactory, then just give us a call or an email and tell us what you need. We can generally accommodate anything as long as we know what you need. For the record, we advertise these Project Packs to have lumber of any length between 4' and 8'. As we all know, lumber grows on trees and sometimes we have to cut longer boards to get rid of defects and/or to make a package a suitable length for shipping. In the end, if you let us know what you need, we're happy to see if the lumber we have on hand will do the job or not and work it out for you.

Good Stuff..., 8.10.2010

The 4/4 maple I bought, along with some 3X3 maple turning stock I had hanging around, was bought to build my lovely wife a new coffee table. This wood, along with some 6/4 cherry I bought a while back, are of very good quality and met all of my expectations. The cherry was used to make a country table top, again, for my lovely wife. Bottom line, this wood is 'Good Stuff'
