[+] 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)
- Widths: 4''-10'' variety of widths are in stock, edges are rough. Straight line ripping on one edge is available above.

The wood is good. Will make a very nice surface for the project. Of all the wood I've purchased this batch was milled on one edge but had but multiple ends with cracks. This is unusual from your company. Some can be used for face framing and some is now waste. Others were damages by UPS. One of the wraped packages had a 6" gouge out of it with exposed damaged oak. I've been able to work around most of the damage but ended up getting a 20' pack as the waste was more than I figured on. On one 6' X 7" board it is necessary to rip 1" X 16" long section, a 1" X 30" section on the same side oposite end and a giant knot on the other edge on the end of the board. Those edges look like they went through a shredder. Don't usually get oak. Like working with African Mahoganey and have purchsed many board feet of 8/4 and 4/4 from your company with virtually no problems.

Wood arrived in 5 bundles all were wrapped very good because there was some damage to the wrapping but the wood inside was not damaged in any way.It took me awhile to unwrap the bundles,had to use a utility knife like you said to get at the wood.The wood itself was the nicest I could have hoped for I like it very much and so does the fellow I am building for.I am building polygon pedistal for his elk head to be displayed on,it is almost done should be able to deliver tomarrow night.
My thanks to you and Robert also the other 106 wood pickers.When ever I need more wood you will be getting my order,I am very satisfied.

    High Quality, Minimal Waste, Perfect Transaction, 12.17.2010

I bought 30 Ft of 4/4 S2S red oak online -- sight unseen. And I am completely satisfied. Communication has been excellent. Packaging was well done, and delivery was very fast. I have jointed and planed to 3/4" for use as door stiles and rails and drawer fronts. The stock has milled well with little tearout and almost no warpage. It's all FS, but grain patterm is by no means wild. Side waste will be less than 10%. I would do this all over again.
