    1/2" Pre-Cut Lumber Pack – Choose Your Size

    Skip the milling and get straight to building. These 1/2" thick pre-cut boards are surfaced smooth and square on all four sides, giving you clean, ready-to-use material the moment it arrives in your shop. No jointing, planing, or edge work required—just cut to length, glue up, or start assembling.

    Each pack is designed around flexible size options, so you can choose the board count, width, and length that best fits your project. Whether you’re batching out small parts, building boxes, crafting cutting boards, making drawer components, or working on detailed hobby projects, you get consistent, predictable stock that saves time and reduces waste.

    Why woodworkers love pre-cut packs

    • Ready to use: Smooth faces and straight edges mean less prep work and more build time.

    • Consistent thickness: Uniform 1/2" stock is ideal for panels, frames, drawer parts, and laminations.

    • Project flexibility: Multiple width and length choices let you match the material to your cut list.

    • Cleaner glue-ups: Square edges and flat faces improve joint quality and alignment.

    • Shop efficiency: Perfect for small shops, classrooms, and makers who want to avoid milling thin stock.

    This is the easy button for thin lumber—reliable, clean, and sized for real projects. Just pick your dimensions, unpack, and start making.
