Reviews for Character Hickory 8/4 Lumber

The wood arrived safe and sound great looking hickory . Just what I needed for my axes and hammer handles for my hand forged axes and hammers

Superb

First time ordering and I am incredibly happy with the cuts and quality of the wood.

Great piece no checking no knots thanks

I have never ordered from them before and needed a hickory board for some handling. Tried it out and gave general use info and the board I received exceeded my expectations. It was beautiful! High quality. Thank you!!! Michael Sherman

Nice dry hunk of Hickory. My bit was a mix of heartwood and lighter sapwood. Worked great for the axe handles I made. Satisfied customer.

Ordered 2 - 8/4 pieces of hickory. Both split down the middle. One piece the split has rendered half the board unusable for the project. The entire idea of order 8/4 is that you need thicker wood. By the time i plane down, it will be a 4/4. Each piece was $50 each. I would cost me that much to ship them back. Not worth the hassle.

I ordered several hickory planks to build a coffee table

The hickory planks I received are absolutely beautiful. I plan to use them to build a coffee table.

The Hickory is beautiful great markings look great when finished and stained for the project fixing to do..

I mentioned in my comments that I was hoping to make an entry door. I should have put it in the special sizing section because I received wood with the longest length of 6 ft. (makes for a rather short entry door) The wood was gorgeous, but I'm left with $218 worth of Hickory that I'm unable to use until I locate some longer planks.

Extremely pleased with the quality of the selected wood, he packaging and overal ordering experience.

milled to perfection, nice solid piece of hickory

Beautiful wood, straight, clean.

product was good. I should have specified knot free but all worked out because knot was near end of the piece and was able to cut it out.

I could hardly believe my eyes when I opened these packs of lumber!! 8/4 hickory, with hardly any defects to work around. Wonderful grain. and well seasoned. Would easily recommend this to anyone. I have always bought lumber in person from lumber warehouse, selecting my own boards, so I was a little hesitant. Not anymore.

If you want high quality wood for your projects, professional service and fast delivery at the right price then this place is the answer. The 8/4 hickory board that I bought is absolutely the best I've ever seen;nicely milled per specs it will fit very well in my project. Two thumbs up!

I needed a board to finish a project. (I was overly optimistic about gluing up 4/4 stock and my local sources couldn't get me 8/4.) Fast shipping and great packaging. Both 7.5 x 98 faces were wonderfully clear with a perfect 50/50 mix of heartwood/sapwood. Nicely planed to 1-27/32" to 1-5/8". Measured at 8% moisture content so it was ready to mill right away. This is a board that I'd feel lucky finding myself in the pile. I really couldn't be happier.
