No One Knows it All

Woodworking is a very broad topic, and there's no one who knows it all. But fortunately we have a staff of people who each have knowledge of different specialties. So if the person you're speaking with doesn't know the answer, they'll find someone who does.

Lumber Sizes Are Random

Hardwood lumber is different from standardized softwood lumber (such as 1x6 and 2x4 pine). Hardwoods come in various widths and lengths, which is why it may take longer to get your order together, and why you may need to buy more footage than you realize. The stack of mahogany above shows how lumber comes in many widths, rarely uniform.

We can select lumber to meet or exceed your requirements

For example, if you ask for 10 boards 6" wide and 72" long, we probably won't be able to send you boards that are precisely 6" wide or exactly 72" long. Instead, we'll need to:

1. Send you enough material to yield your request, and
2. therefore the adjust the footage you order and bill it accordingly.

Due the nature of hardwood lumber, each board in a stack is a different size, with different grain characteristics, etc. Our primary concern is providing you with quality material that you like. We want you to be happy and therefore we want to make sure you get what you need so your project can be a successful one.

In Woodworking, You Cut and Join Your Own Pieces to Final Size

If you've got woodworking tools, you don't need to spend the extra money paying for wood that's already cut to size. Instead, buy your lumber in random widths and lengths to give you maximum flexibility to arrange grain and work around defects

Hardwood lumber is usually sold as a bulk raw product in random widths and lengths. That 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.

We do understand that your project might have some requirements, and we're happy to help you out.

Here's How We Can Help You With Sizes:

1. Custom Hand Selection: This is a selection for a minimum size, not an exact size. For example, if you want a minimum width of 6", we will hand-select lumber that will be bigger than 6". See the "Minimum Size Request" box on the order form.
2. Custom Cutting: We can do some custom milling such as planing to a different thickness and ripping to width. This is quoted priced per job, so please call or email to for a quote.

Make It Easier to Cut to Size on Your Table Saw

All of our lumber is stocked surfaced on two sides - which means the face and back of the boards are good and smooth and the edges are rough sawn. A rough edge is rarely suitable to be guided against a table saw fence. A straight line rip puts a true edge on the board so you can run it against a table saw fence and cut the width you need. A straight line rip is also performed after measuring the board. The rip will remove 1/16" to 1/8" from the width of the board.

So you might be wondering why

Hardwood lumber is primarily a raw product. It's been sawn from a log with big machinery that leaves rough surfaces. We then have the material surfaced (planed) on the two faces (after it's been kiln dried) and we stock it this way - smooth faces, rough edges. There are many benefits to stocking lumber like this, the biggest reason is because we find it to be a decent balance between cost and usefulness to the woodworker. Every aspect of machining adds cost to the wood, so we minimize that as much as possible by only having the lumber planed. It allows you to have a workable and smooth surface and also see the grain and color of the boards. Though every board will have to be jointed or straight-line-ripped eventurally, there's no distinctive advantage to stocking it with the edges already straightened. Plus it would add cost. Where many experienced woodworkers might prefer fully rough lumber, we find that many new and intermediate woodworkers do not have a planer, the critical tool for surfacing lumber. And we're here to serve woodworkers of all skill and experience levels as best we can.

4 Important Things To Know About Size Requests

1. You will recieve wood that varies in size
We will pull wood to meet or exceed the dimensions you need. If you need wood to be an exact size, no more and no less, please call for a quote for custom cutting.

2. You may be charged for more wood than you order
We will select material that can yield your specified dimension(s). That means we will to ship you board(s) that are wider or longer than you request, and therefore they may compute to more footage than you calculated. You will be billed for the actual footage that we ship. We always contact you first to discuss and make sure you get what you need and are not surprised by additional charges.

3. It might take longer
Please be patient. Selecting wood takes time to do it right. Looking for material to meet your size demands will add to the amount of time it takes us to pull your order together. But we promise to do it right, and to do it well.

4. Do You Want To Order Exact Sizes?
No problem. Please call or email us to get a custom cutting quote. We'll be happy to help. Due to the limitations of website software, we can't provide a price for custom cut wood without discussing with you first.
