Reviews for Premium Black Walnut 4/4 Lumber, Clear One Side

'Poyfect' Thank You!

great selection on the pieces ordered against what i requested and arrived fast,

The quality was great, and I needed to adjust the order. They answered and helped out on a holiday helped with the changes and the order arrived ahead of the original estimates.

In short, I probably won't buy wood online again. Generally, the "good" face was just ok--not much sapwood, but some pretty deep saw marks (3/32") in part of one of the boards. Because of the composition of the board, planing it off led to exposure of sapwood around the edges. The other board a significant bow that made it unusable for my intended project (I would say out of tolerance for the 3/4 final thickness advertised). My sample size is 2 boards from one order, so perhaps it was just an outlier.

I haven't started my project yet but I am very happy with the pieces of walnut I received.

The selection was as good or better as I would have gotten driving to a home center and spending an hour leafing through boards.

I was very satisfied with my order. I have yet to be disappointed by Woodworkers Source.

Very Satisfied. Great customer service. Great product. Type of cut was not specified. Quartersawn was provided. As that is not typical, it would have been good to get the standard plain sawn; or have been asked specifically if quartersawn was acceptable.

Great piece of lumber

I bought premium walnut 4/4 lumbar, walnut plywood and walnut wood edge tape and they were all of the highest quality and delivered very quickly. Great service, great products.

Just what I needed and wanted.Thank you it is beautiful . I find myself petting it from time to time.

Have't actually started the project yet but it all looks great!!!!

The delivery arrived exactly when they said it would. The quality was excellent making it easy for my project. The customer liked the door so much I am doing two more doors in the same style.

The walnut shipped to me was perfect. No flaws, flat, straight, and no twists. The grain is very nice as well. It's a joy to work with.

couldn't be happier

Very happy with the boards selected

very impressed with the quality and speed

I needed to create trim for a walnut counter top I was putting together and the product matched perfectly with little sap wood. I will upload pics when kitchen complete.

Soft areas needed epoxy

I ordered 4/4 black walnut and 4/4 maple. The wood had top quality color and free of defects. I was very satisfied.

Used this for a decorative table runner and cutting boards. Nice variation in colors between greys and browns.

The wood I received was beautiful and sized as I asked. I'm very pleased with my order and will order again.

Just needed tiny piece to match wood in gun stock to patch a hole. Found it in a corner of the piece you sent. Cut a piece about 1/8 of an inch by 2 x 3. Pegged and glued it. Sanded it down. Stained it. Applied finish. Done. Now I need to find something to do with the other 98% of the board.

Very pleased with the walnut purchase. Couldn't have picked out a better board!

Gorgeous black walnut 95% heartwood received. Will make a beautiful bench seat for my hall tree I'm building. Thanks Woodworkers source for the beautiful pieces!

The wood came in the time given, with no major defects.

First time customer. Good product. Had issue (self induced, forgot something) and emailed customer service and had prompt response. Very helpful. Great products. Page is bookmarked in browser now for future use.

Great quality. Fast shipping.

I ordered this product with no specific project planned just really wanted some walnut, unsure how it would be since buying lumber online can be, sometimes, well... disappointing.. But Woodworkers Source did not disappoint! The wood is beautiful and clear, there is a small void in the back of the wood where a knot was, but that's nothing that a little epoxy won't fix! Beautiful coloring, and very little variation with sapwood. My only suggestion would be, if you do not have a jointer or a good hand plane, pay the extra couple cents to have them straight line rip.

Nice quality slab of walnut with no sap wood. Cleanly planed with square edges. We are using this to recreate a detachable butt stock for an antique taxidermists specimen collecting firearm. VERY happy with the prompt attention to the order and the quality of the wood.

Hi Cameron, Got my order of Walnut last week and just wanted to tell you guys that the lumber was GREAT! Packaging was perfect and walnut arrived without a scratch. Virtually no sapwood at all. Really good stuff exactly to spec. Thanks for everyone's attention in perfecting my first experience with Woodworkers source! Many thanks, Herbert

Haven't used it yey, but it sure looks great

This walnut is much nicer than the last order.... very few through knots and big sections of clear wood with pretty grain.

Lumber was. great fast shipping. And they packaged it very nicely.

between the two boards I found even dark grain and areas of black and tan, both of which I needed

The walnut I received was great. I got a call before shipment telling me that a lot of the walnut on hand was sappy bit they could guarantee one good side. That worked for me. Wood arrived exactly as expected almost pure heartwood on at least one side. I gave it 4 stars only because of the price. I have since found a local dealer for about 1/3 less with very similar quality.

The wood is great quality with a lot of heart wood in the pieces. I am happy with it.

Just hard to judge the wood until matching the grain in a project. I will let you know after the table project.

Quality wood, very little sap. Can't wait to start my project.

black walnut had a lot of yellow in board.

When they say you will get more than what you ordered they are not kidding! At first I was worried about running short after I squared the ends but when I took a closer look at what they sent me I was shocked. The sq. footage is increased significantly so there is no doubt you are getting what you paid for.

Very pretty wood and I was overall happy with the entire order, but I did get one plank of black walnut that was warped. Since these pieces were supposed to be used for guitar necks, the warped piece was useless in that respect. However, I can still use it to create heels, headstocks, and the like, so I didn't complain or attempt to return it. 5 stars otherwise. Very nice wood and well packaged for delivery too. I highly recommend WWS!

Awesome grain selection! thank you!

This was my 6th order. All the rest were great! This one was disappointing. I ordered 2 boards so I could edge glue the into one large piece. However, both board had blemishes directly in the center of each one. I therefor am faced with cutting into 4 pieces to edge glue. Not an acceptable solution. I understand blemishes occur but would think that if two pieces are being sent, at least one of them should be in good condition so us woodworkers have a chance to complete our projects!

I ordered 4/4 walnut for a 36"x60" desktop that I am making.

Every piece was nice, very straight, very flat, smooth and little sapwood- couldn't ask for better

As always, this order of excellent raw hardwood met all my expectations. I was informed that the lumber I had ordered was not going to be "top quality" and was given an option to get an better alternative at the same price. That shows me that Woodworkers source is far more interested in customer satisfaction than overall profit. I've ordered four pro-packs of different hardwoods and am always impressed with the quality and value of the hardwoods.

This black walnut meets all my criteria. It is free of defects, has beautiful figure and is generously sized.

had a lot of blemishes in it. I had to waste some good wood to get some dimension's that I needed.

This was my first time working with walnut and I was very impressed. The wood is flat out gorgeous. I find the wood easy to joint, plane and cut. For finishing I simply used Tung Oil, nothing more. It turned out perfect.

Product arrived on time and as requested. I have used Woodworkers Source several times and they never fail to provide exactly what I ordered. Good job!

Alot of the walnut in my past order was full of holes and not usable.

I just received my Black Walnut 4/4 lumber, and I could not believe how beautiful it was. I made some requests, and you guys really came through with the sizes I needed. The grain is fantastic and the wood is top notch. I would highly recommend shopping at Woodworkers Source.

Product looked very good

This beautify piece of wood became a shelf under our flatscreen TV with a little sanding and beeswax wood finish. Its perfect!

Very little sapwood. Nice cut.

This is the note I sent to WWS after I got my order today: Guys, Got my order of Walnut boards today (Order #104840). They look GREAT. Your selections were superb and the turnaround on the order was top-notch. I also really got a kick out of the note you sent when you shipped it. This was my first time ordering lumber (and veneers) from you and I want to let you know that you've already gained a loyal customer. I will definitely be coming back for my future projects. All the best! -Stephen Murphy

I always keep a good supply of high quality Black Walnut in my shop, as it can be used by itself or accents many other species- I wanted 8+" wide and 8' long- the 3 pcs I received are top grade, very clear and a beautiful grain pattern - I will be ordering more of this very high quality lumber- all lumber from Woodworkers Source has been the best I can find, I used to drive 300 miles to the nearest city 2x's a year, since I have found the folks here I can spend my time on doing what I love- Custom Woodwork- Thanks from N.E.Wyoming

Had a couple cracks and knots but mostly clear. I'm happy with my order.

Excellent selections. These boards look great and look great together. There is some figuring with some lighter browns through it that make it 'pop'....and some great tight grain patterns that really flow through the length of the boards. Could not be happier.

My stock had great grain patterns and a nice shift in and out of heart wood. I really enjoyed the selection.

I order 25 board feet of this during a recent special promotion (free shipping). I'd never ordered from Woodworkers Source or lumber online for that matter. I'm really pleased with the boards I got. Three nearing 8 feet and 3 near 6 feet, random but nice widths. Lovely color on all of them--no splits, knots, or other nastiness. Good communication, and they arrived within a week - and that was after I got an email saying there would be a delay! I'll be back again.

The product provided by Woodworkers Source exceeded my expectations.

I'll preface this review with you knowing that I am nearly impossible to please. Having said that, I ordered 20 board feet with certain specifications on width because I wanted to avoid glue ups. I set my hopes really low, but the day after I ordered it I got this hilarious email naming me customer of the year! Mr. Craig Haggarton really set the bar high, so high I thought that even if the wood sucks this email would make the story worth it. Turns out the wood was better than I ever could have expected, met all my requirements on width. The boards were straight, no sap wood, just perfect. I couldn't believe it. I just ordered my second order through the woodworkers source and I think it will be hard for them to match the first. Also, I ordered it normal ground delivery and it got to my house three days after I ordered it! So impressed, great job to all the 107 hardworking and exceptionally good looking workers at woodworkers source!

Very happy with this order, I ordered certain sizes and Woodworkerssource was very generous and gave me a little more length and width which allows me to saw the walnut to the exact sizes I need.Looking forward to planning another project and I know where I will order from.

Whta I expected. Good grain, defects minimum.

Sharp grains with minimal dents and band marks. Only 1 board cracked all the way through. Very pleased.

These boards exceeded my expectations. I have ordered before and have always been pleased, but this particular order stands out as exceptional. The boards are perfect.

Great piece of Walnut as I usually receive.

Aside from the pricey shipping to VA, I have no complaints. The 4/4 walnut was average "select" grade lumber.

Excellent uality, prompt delivery, well packed, absolutely no damage, generous sizing to my minimum specs

Absolutely Beautiful Grain Figure in all of my 10 bd ft order (I actually received a bit more). I specified minimum of 5" width-most were 6"+, the shades all match nearly perfect & very minimal sapwood. My 1st order has been a raging success & I most certainly will be a returning customer.

Great product, great company. Thanks for the quick service.

Lots of unusable knotty spots, short boards, sapwood maybe if I bought a project pack it would have been different, I have had better lumber that way

Nice piece of wood. Also, order was handled quickly and courteously. The same goes for the Basswood

The wood is a perfect match to the project I'm working on. I'm creating a back splash for a hard wood counter top.

Great product. I received more in my order than I expected. No skimping here!

Arrived in perfect condition and just as described and expected.

Walnut is one of my favorite woods to work with. Machines nice with sharp tools and can be shaped easily with hand tools. Mine came with excelent sraight edge rips.

It should be smooth on one side, for use as a table top, etc. The grain is nice an tight, and the color is very nice. I would order this product again. The order desk was fabulous and the service was excellent.

As a first time order I was not sure what to expect in terms of dimensions or quantity of pieces for such a small bd ft order. But I got a single, beautiful board, wide and long. It was clearly selected by someone who understood woodworking, not just how to measure products. I really appreciate the care that person took in giving me the best they could.

For $9.00 a board foot this lumber needed to be perfect. It wasn't quite perfect- there are some flaws, planer marks and a bit of sapwood. It has some excellent grain patterns though so it will still make a great looking sofa table because I can work around or orient the flaws so they don't affect the project. I like the sense of humor and enthusiasm in your emails. Keep that up! And I appreciate your rapid processing of the order. The UPS guy huffed and puffed getting the bundle from the truck to my garage. He had quite a few heavy packages that day.

I ordered a small amount of walnut for a project and will be able to use 99% of the wood. I have purchased from other suppliers and don't get this kind of yield. Thanks guys.
