Why Choose Cherry?

Beautiful Furniture Wood
With cherry, you'll build projects that get better looking with age. Freshly cut or sanded cherry has a light tan color but it soon transitions to a more stately and classic russet color.

Lumber 101: What to Know About Hardwood Lumber

lumber random widths Random Widths
You will cut and/or glue to create the sizes you need
rough sawn vs surfaced lumber Surfaced Smooth S2S
We buy rough sawn lumber and have it surfaced 2 sides (S2S) so you're ready to work
rough sawn vs surfaced lumber Kiln Dried
We stock kiln dried lumber and store it in a protected warehouse
rough sawn vs surfaced lumber 83%+ Clear
Unless stated otherwise, we stock Select & Better graded lumber that's at least 83% clear one side
  1. Pick a wood you like
  2. Decide how much you need
  3. Give us your specs (if you have any)

This is the unit of measurement for hardwood lumber when it's bought/sold in random widths and random lengths.

Board footage is a measurement of volume, and it's abbreviated Bd. Ft.

One board foot is equal to 144 cubic inches.

board foot formula

It's a fraction that refers to rough (RGH) sawn thickness of lumber, and it tells you approximately how many quarters of an inch make up the thickness.

Surfaced lumber is thinner because it started out as rough sawn but it's been planed smooth. Planing removes thickness.

Rough Sawn (RGH) Surfaced (S2S)
4/4 ~1" 13/16"
5/4 ~1-1/4" 1-1/16"
6/4 ~1-1/2" 1-5/16"
8/4 ~2" 1-13/16"
12/4 ~3" 2-13/16"

Unless otherwise specified, our lumber is "Surfaced 2 Sides" or S2S for short.

Check out our blog for the full explanation.

If you can cut your own pieces to size, here's how we can help:

  1. Enter requirements into the order form where it says, "Minimum Size Request"
  2. Tell us what you want to acheive or make
  3. You will receive wood that can yeild what you need. (You will create the final size)
  4. We may need to contact you for clarification

You will cut and/or join your material to create the finished sizes you need. We'll pick out wood that will give you enough to do that. For this reason, the final amount of footage you receive in your order will be slightly different, and your final billed charge will be different.

If you want to only buy pieces of an exact size, that will be sold differently. Please contact us for a custom quote.

Sadly, wood cannot be 100% guaranteed to be clear on both sides all the time. Most of our lumber is graded "Select" and better, which means it's at minimum 83% clear on one side.

Consistent Color and Quality
I had a great experience with my order! It’s always a nice surprise when the pieces exceed expectations, especially in terms of quality and width. Having flat boards with consistent color makes a big difference. 4 out of the 6 pieces sent exceeded the minimum width requested (7"). That gave me extra to work with.

Not S2S
Boards arrived skip planed but not smooth. By the time I planed smooth, I couldn’t get 3/4” thick - ended up about 5/8.

Most boards were great, some less than I expected
I ordered these a few weeks ago and they arrived quickly and we’ll packaged. 4 boards were great, nice and flat and straight, even with few tool marks on the unsurfaced sides. 2 of the boards were not great. One was a bit more warped than I would have picked if I was at a lumber yard and it had about crack running through the edge to about 2” in. One other board was flat sawn and about 2’ was REALLY rough on on both sides it was supposed to be surfaced. Overall decent boards but was hoping for a bit better quality/board selection.
Familiarity: I haven't used it

Have purchased lumber from other places and these cherry boards have to be the best I have ever purchased. They will require very little or no planning except for the edges! I purchased them with rough edges! Thanks, Woodworkers Source
