Originally ordered by a customer who cancelled their order, this package of 4/4 superior (clear) grade alder is already ripped on one edge and surfaced smooth to 13/16". The boards are 9-10' and perfect for a project that requires the look of cherry but the bargain of alder. Alder is commonly used as a cherry substitute and often finishes easier too. Why don't you give Alder a chance? At $2.85 @ bf, the only thing missing is your inspiration for your next project. $447.45

Solid wood drawers are something to behold. Unfortunately, more and more people are opting for plywood these days because of the ease of use when dealing with wider widths. This classified, however, gives you the opportunity to buy solid superior (clear) grade alder that's already surfaced to 3/8". All you have to do is glue the boards up for your desired widths, and cut your dovetails. The end result I assure you will be something to behold. Why not give this traditional method a try while this material is priced to go! Only $2.45 @ surface foot. $276.85

Cherry
What do you mean my cherry won't be all red?
At one point the National Hardwood Lumber Association rules had included standards for the red (heartwood) color in cherry. Twenty five years ago they dropped the color requirement. Why? Even that long ago the resource was dwindling and the rules made it to difficult for boards to make the grade. Consequently, the rules had to be changed.
So why is it so expensive?
Just like the best white hard maple comes from Northern Michigan, the best cherry comes from the Allegheny National Forest. The annual cherry harvest has been dropped from 100 million board feet to 20 million board feet. Meanwhile, the demand has remained very strong.
So how do I get the red cherry I want?
If your project doesn't need long pieces (bigger than 3-4') DON'T buy Select and Better. There will be more red color and you won't be paying the premium for large clear cuttings.

Hickory
220bf 4/4 S&B Hickory Rift/Quarter Sawn
We had a customer doing a job that required 4/4 Qtr/Rift Sawn Hickory, and as it turns out we've
got some left over. Maybe they will call back and polish off the rest of the inventory, or maybe
you will beat them to it. This, my friends, is the evolution of the classified ad. (It is in this
case anyway.) We've got 220bf of 13'-14' lengths up for grabs out back and if you take it all,

5/4 #2 Common Mahogany - Genuine
This package is a great find. Our lumber grader didn't grade it FAS because of random worm holes found throughout the pieces. When I saw the top few boards they looked great. The normal price would be $1730.40 for this quantity. Whether you want to build an exterior door or finish that boat project this could very well be the package for you. We welcome you to come and have a look before you buy... it's waiting for you in our Charlotte warehouse! All or part, $5.70/bf! $1174.20
89 071220 1232-3
4/4 FAS Santos Mahogany - When our customers asked for a less expensive Mahogany, we offered them
Philippine. They said "it's too soft and the color is different". Santos is the answer.
It's got the color, it's hard, it's wide, it's clear, it's almost a buck cheaper...$536 per 100bf.
We even have it in 5/4 too... $578 per 100bf! Price level and quantity discounts apply!

Mahogany Honor Roll

You'll see below some of what we've turned in the past! These could easily make up tabletops, bar tops, or may be just the thing to replace the transom on that antique runabout of yours.

Here's a small package that will go a long way. We have some resawn White Hard Maple that was never picked up by a customer. It is currently surfaced down to 5/16" but not quite cleaned up. It may clean up at 1/4" with a little care. This is another 2007 expo left over that needs to go before 2008 show. So if you need some thin stock, avoid the pricey resaw charge or having to plane 4/4 all the way down, and buy this bundle. $174.00

Wormy Soft Maple 2 & Better
If there ever was a lumber with a public relations problem, this is it! Let me clear up a few misconceptions:
- It has holes like Swiss cheese. All the cuttings (the parts used to determine grade) have to be sound and to be a worm hole must be 1/8" or smaller.
- "Soft" means "soft" like pine. Actually "soft" means "soft" compared to hard maple. This ain't no wimpy lumber!!!
I bought 100' a few months back and it's found its way into shop jigs, sawhorses, drawer sides, shop cabinets, toys and clocks. (You can stain it to look just like cherry)
 |
100' 5/4 #1 & Better Wormy Soft Maple 9-10'. Tom faxed a copy of his bunk bed plans and called to discuss the choice of wood. Cherry - too expensive, White Oak - too hard, Pine - too soft but he liked the character... he then decided on Wormy Soft Maple. Compared to Pine, Soft Maple is hard. It is only soft when compared to Hard Maple and the coloration with the addition of some worm-holes added just the character Tom wanted for the bunk bed. A 100' was more material than he needed, but bought it to get the price break and planned to build a chest with the extra. When he said, "I can't believe I got this much lumber for $182!", I thought it was time to raise the price, but decided to write a classifed instead. $182

Soft Maple
4/4 Soft Maple Wormy
Mark called back from Pittsburgh, PA. He says his wife is happy with her Wormy Soft Maple kitchen cabinets and now his daughter wants some too! The wormy is usually packaged #2&Btr, which might have a little too much character for some folks but when it's packaged Sel&Btr or #1&Btr, you get a product that\'s fun to create with and easy to work. From his experience it sounds great to work with... soft enough to sand without too much trouble, and takes stain very well! $173 for 100bf of S&B or $163 for #1&Btr.

6/4 Select and Better Soft Maple
Unselected for color, this 309 bf package if 6/4 soft maple is going to offer a bit of color variation with its heart and sapwood. Perhaps color is a non-issue for your next furniture project because you've got reason to paint it! While soft maple is hard and is a close grained, it is very strong yet easy to work. At $2.45/bf, this package is priced even slightly below our level 4 pricing. A deal like this won’t last long! $757

Pecan
4/4 #1Com Pecan
About a year and a half ago, calls were coming in from customers looking for Pecan. We brought
some S&B and #1Com material into our inventory, and here it sits in our warehouse. Similar to
hickory in a lot of ways, pecan is sometimes used for furniture, cabinets, or maybe even flooring.
This particular package of #1Com has 1127bf and is priced at just $1200/m -- a savings even for
our Level 4 customers! $1353

Southern Yellow Pine
Here's an idea for all you folks building homes. Southern Yellow Pine makes terrific flooring and The Workbench can sell you the shaper to tongue and groove it. If that sounds like too much work, we can also refer you to a customer with a molder to run it for you.
1X6 Yellow Pine #2Com
After a little bit of straightening and reorganizing, this bundle of 152bf of 1x6 #2Com Southern Yellow Pine surfaced in Jim's warehouse. The entire package is 16' long and has already been surfaced two sides to 7/8". We're happy to list it here for just $1.43/bf. If you're looking for something a bit 'rustic' this might just make the grade! $218
06 080108 3935-4

Normally you see our 6'-7' "Selects" in our 4/4 stock, but this bundle of 8/4 was scaled
from a larger package and reduced because of it's shorter lengths! A price level one customer
would ordinarily pay $3.30/bf for 124bf of 8/4 Select & Better Red Oak, but this package is itching
to find it's way into your shop for just $2.49/bf! Don't miss this opportunity to save! $309

87090622 [8389-3]
40' 8/4 Red Oak
Because it has honeycomb, this 8/4 red oak package flunks the guidelines establishing grades for lumber. You say what? That right, this red oak suffers from a defect referred to as "honeycomb." More specifically, the National Hardwood Lumber Association defines honeycomb as "a cellular separation that occurs in the interior of a piece of wood, usually along the wood rays." However, there's also some sound wood in there that might be just right for you. Come by and take a look at this bargain. It won't last for long. $1.99 @ bf. $79.60

Mike discovered this rift red oak while he was organizing his warehouse. This lumber is already ripped on one edge and surfaced to ¾" making this 9-10' stock ready and waiting for your next project. Working with rift sawn material will always deliver fine results. A close cousin to quarter sawn, rift lacks the medullar rays or "flecks" common with quarter sawn lumber. They both, however, have extremely straight grain that keeps the board more stable during seasoning and final use. If you're looking for something to stay flat and stable, rift may be just right for you! $2.99 @ bf $233.22

Red Oak Panels
A customer called with a 4/4 Red Oak project and wanted to know the best way to proceed. His material list totaled about 75 board feet and included five edge glued panels 3/4" x 20" x 28", that he wanted us to make. Well - this is what we decided. He bought a 100' for $257, to take advantage of the price break. We glued the panels, straight lined and surfaced the balance, for $68. Give us a call. We don't want to make your project, but we want to be a part of it!
Here's an idea for Christmas. We have a customer that needed a 22" x 22" edge glued panel for a top to the table he was building. Our price for one panel was $43. After he understood our minimum charge for gluing one panel, he bought four panels for $22 each, and decided to build three more tables for gifts.
Sapele
Sapele is gaining popularity! Because of its variable reddish-brown color, this member of the Mahogany family is often sought after as an economical alternative for any number of projects that would otherwise be made with Genuine mahogany. Some common uses for Sapele include: cabinets, doors, paneling, furniture, etc. From what I understand, it finishes well and gives off a scent resembling that of cedar when cut. We do our best to keep an inventory of Sapele in 4/4, 5/4, 6/4,and 8/4. Contact us today for your next project's needs!

Sassafras has an extensive history of legend and lore. The first Americans and early settlers considered sassafras to be a cure all for all sorts of ailments. Today, however, more than its medicinal qualities, people treasure Sassafras for its strength to weight ratio, making it perfect for boat building and canoes. This 1 common package contains plenty of clear lumber as defined by the grade, where 2/3 of the board will be clear on one face. Because of its strength and great price, we’re sure you’ll feel much better after finding a place for Sassafras in your next project. $1.30 @ bf. $546.00

White Oak
4/4 #1Com Rift White Oak
Sorted by our inspector, this package of 4/4 Rift White Oak was graded as #1Com. The material
is 7'-8' in length and there are about 297bf of material left for grabs. In a similar fashion to
the quarter sawn oak, this material might make for some really interesting pieces - lamps,
jewelry boxes, furniture, etc. Let this package and it's price, $2.36/bf inspire you! $701
06 090129 6411-3
Quartered and Rift sawn White Oak is still very popular and our supply is excellent. What's the difference? The simplest answer I've heard is the grain in quarter sawn is 90 to 60 degrees with the face of the board and rift is 60 to 30.
75' 4/4 Select and Better White Oak-Qtr
Mission style furniture, reminiscent of the classics made by the Stickley brothers, is very popular today. At the core of this classic look is quarter sawn white oak with its distinctive straight grain and medullar ray flecks. If you're inspired to recreate these classics please consider this package of select and better quarter sawn white oak. Already surfaced to 3/8", this stock would make perfect surface veneer for cabinet doors or solid stock when making decorative accessories like mirrors, lamps, and picture frames. Give this 8' package a chance to help you create your own reproductions of this popular style! $303.75

According to the grade, 2 common white oak yields clear cuttings for at least 50% of one face. Years ago, the furniture factories in Grand Rapids gobbled this common lumber up by making their parts from the clear cuttings. At the price for this common lumber you can afford to handle the waste like the furniture companies. And, if you’re looking for character when making cabinets, furniture, or flooring you’re saving even more. Don’t let this special pass you by- it’s ripe for the picking! $1.05 @ bf. $214.20

which by this very process makes for narrow pieces. This pkg of #1 common holds up to this
very discription as its 60bf of 4"-6" widths in 9-10' lengths. The #1 common grade lends
itself to shorter cuttings between more defects than you'd find in selects. Priced for your

During the first two decades of the twentieth-century, Gustav Stickley, Charles Limbert, and others helped establish a rustic style of furniture with straight lines during the Arts and Crafts Period. Almost a hundred years later, this same mission style of furniture is coming back as many of us are inspired to recreate those original Arts and Crafts furniture designs. Originally, quarter sawn white oak was the material of choice so this 38' package, already ripped one edge and surfaced to 13/16" is perfect for your next Arts and Crafts reproduction. Don't wait too long, this bargain won't last long! $4.09 @ bf. $155.42
