Reviews for Shedua 4/4 Lumber

This wood burns very easily, especially when routing. I was doing 1.5" plunges (yes that's deep but I have a OB 2200 router) and it would burn the mortises and almost caught fire once. It was very exciting and it smells wonderful. Also the wood has some tendency to tear out at corners but this can easily be worked around Anyway the finish is amazing and this is worth the extra cost over walnut

I haven't used the wood yet but was impressed with the selection of pieces received considering I didn't pick them out myself. Very nice looking wood!

nice looking wood, consistent grain pattern, came in two pieces that matched up well together

Shedua is a beautiful wood to work with. The wood I received was beautiful, straight with very few imperfections. Wood did arrive in a heavily damaged box. This an issue with the shipper as Woodworks Source properly packed the wood.

This is the most beautiful wood I have used. I make memorial flag cases for fallen military and first responders at no charge. The beauty of the wood adds so much to the spouses. It is a very hard wood but with the effort when you see the joy from the families. I greatly appreciate the fantastic service I continue to receive from Woodworkers Source.

Good species to work with. Sanding and finishing was similar to maple, IMO. Beautiful grain patterns. Finished project off with Formby's Tung (?) Oil . Pleased.

The wood I received is beautiful. I was skeptical that I would receive wood that was thoughtfully chosen but I did. My project is getting off to a great start with this quality of wood. Thank you for caring and thinking of the woodworker while choosing my boards!

Very very beautiful wood!!

I wanted a piece 8" x 84" that's what I got, plus the drop (It has a nice "Waterfall Figure" to it) I love the way Shedua has an almost "Iridescent" glow to it in the grain pattern- perfectly straight, Flat and it will make the trim on my project "Pop"- WWS has all of this Ole Woodsmith's business

One of two boards I received had a bow (unusual for WWS) so I let them know and they send a replacement no questions asked. The replacement board is beautiful.

Ordered some Shedua and Purplheart for a couple of small projects. I had to wait a little longer on shipping because of the widths I requested but well worth the wait. The wood I received was of excellent quality, almost as if I had hand picked the lumber myself. This was a test run for me since I have never ordered from woodworkersource in the past but I will definitely be ordering again.

recieved my order of 25bf today, always alittle unsure until i unwrap the package. i swear my heart missed a beat. i give it 6 out of 5 stars. exceeded my expectations and nice wide boards too... thanks to all the staff involved!!!

I ordered and received a craft pack It contained 3 boards all about 10 3/4 wide and a little over 4 foot long. In reading some reviews before I ordered I noticed that others had received fairly narrow boards.I have just started a project with the wood it is a beautiful wood but it is hard.

Very handsome wood

Decided to hand cut some mortise and tenons. This wood is hard! It took some time but the joints came out damn good. Back to the shop to sharpen my chisels again!! LOL Serious though I'd use shedua again
