Pay attention to what they give you

Instead of 8/4 which is what I ordered, they gave me 2 pieces of 4/4. The picker needs to pay more attention to the orders.

Surprisingly Good

I was a little skeptical buying lumber online but I guess for the purpose of building a workbench and I don't really care so much about the figure on the wood, so why not give it a try. This first order is just to try it out and it was surprisingly good. The board came relatively flat (for 12 bf) and clear. The two faces looks like they were planed, not just rough sawn, not sure if they are all prepared the same say. I guess I'll find out. Will definitely get more as soon as the 8/4 are back in stock.

Absolutely perfect!

It's nerve-racking buying lumber from the opposite side of the country without ever laying eyes on it, but I couldn't be happier with the size and quality of the lumber received. Not many hardwood dealers near me so I'm glad I can trust these guys to ship quality product.

Great product selection for a great project

What can I say? Woodworker's Source not only had great pricing, their product is top notch. This is not just about the wood I ordered being good quality, but the processing of that board - insuring a straight and true edge and 1 finished face. I don't have all the tools to accomplish that on my end. They made my actual project - adding a front vise with hard maple jaws to my workbench I'm in progress building - attainable and a success.

8/4 Maple — 10 bd ft.

I am very pleased with the maple I received. There is one small, insignificant knot, but overall the wood was beautiful, delivered on time, and will suit my needs perfectly. In fact, I think I probably received more than the 10 bd ft I had ordered, but I'm not complaining. Thanks

Maple review

I was nervous about buying lumber sight unseen, but when I received the piece of 8/4 maple I was totally impressed. I couldn't have picked a better piece of lumber myself and it won't be the last time I buy lumber from woodworkers source.

Slightly disappointed :-(

Okay the quality of the Hard White Maple is there very nice grain pattern nice even coloration, my disappoint come from not fulfilling the order instructions the order stated the I need 6 inch wide boards and 5 feet in length. What I received was 2, 8/4 lumber 6-inch boards 5 feet boards in length which were correct in the order, and 2, 8/4 lumber that was 10 inches wide and 5 feet boards which were incorrect. I stated all widths should be a minimum of 6 inches wide. Sorry people but someone didn't read the order correctly. I had to put the boards aside for the current project and will be forced to use them for another project in the future.

1st Bad Experience

As sometimes happens, this 4" x 90" piece of 8/4 maple twisted and bent badly once I'd ripped it into 1" strips to use for the facing of a new built-in bookshelf. I've never had a problem this bad with your products before.

8/4 Hard Maple- Very Top Grade

I ordered 8/4 in 8-10" widths, and that is just what was shipped, everyone of my boards were "High Quality" and perfect in every way one could want, the edge of one board had a scar (due to shipping it looked liked) I was able to work around it, the 8/4 is perfect for table or chair tapered legs, I will be trying some alcohol based dye as maple doesn't take stain well- I highly recommend WWS for all of the Professional or weekender woodworker- these folks stand behind their products

Lumber a BIG HIT!

Both the hard maple and the purpleheart were beautiful. I have turned them into georgeous edge grain cutting boards. I haven`t finished them yet, but a picture will be forthcoming.

Great product and service.

The shipment was well packed and came through undamaged. All wood was straight, flat, and had little defects, and was very uniform in color. I was so pleased with the order I celebrated by roasting a pig and making some Ukranian Prune tortes.

8/4 Maple Hard White sample

This product arrived quickly and solidly met my expectations. The dimensions were amply within my stated rqmts and the sample was clear and defect-free. I intend to order much more of this product now that I know it is of superior quality. My ONLY complaint is the extraordinary cost of shipping; I could've shipped a piece of equipment, 20x the weight of this piece of wood, cross-country, for the cost of rcvg this small piece of wood. Wish you could find a much more cost-effective solution to this cost.

They were all warped and twisted. I had to build a taper jig to surface 2 sides. I couldn't use them straight out of the box on my jointer.Some got nasty grain that planning them get them even rougher.They were not cheap either.

botched order

I ordered, and was charged for 6', of this lumber no less than 5" or more than 6" wide. What I received was 4' 7.5" long by 6.5" wide. I paid a premium of 50 cents per foot ($3.00) to be able to choose the length and width of the lumber I wanted. Neither end of the board I received was cut square. I leave you to draw your own conclusions whether this is a rip off or not.

Small shop wood

Now this lumber I was very disappointed.It was VERY ROUGH on both faces and had several splits.In my view no worth the money I paid.I dont have the time to repackage lumber and ship it back so I will just have to plane it down smooth and use what I have.
