CHERRY
200', 4/4, #2 Common, Cherry

Our 200 bd ft bundle is back by popular demand. The price of lumber continues to rise but you know when you gotta have it, you gotta have it. $280
09 100325 45

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.

CYPRESS

100', Select and Better, 1x6 Rough.

Looking for a candidate to replace the Redwood you could find at all the lumberyards 35 years ago? If you're building outdoor furniture or repairing the porch Cypress should be considered. Your billfold will look better too after you see the current price for Redwood. $284
13 0503 0012

280', 4/4, Select and Better, 14' average length This package consists of 20 pieces of 1/2" thick select and better cypress, 14' long. The boards are all 12" wide and perfect for any outdoor or marine application. Cypress resists rot and insects and makes it great for any application that is subject to outdoor elements. At $2.19 @ bf, we're sure you'll come up with a need for this material. $613.20
87090622 [0617-3]

DOUGLAS FIR
35', C Select, 7' minimum length, 8' maximum length This stock was originally 8/4 x 6" vertical grain FSC C&Btr Doug fir, that is until we re-sawed it. Now the pieces are 3/8" to 1/2" x 6" x 7-8'. Vertical grain C&Btr Doug fir is really rift sawn yielding mostly straight grain material throughout the length of the board. C&Btr is the grade and means the material is virtually clear. Doug fir is easily the strongest of all domestic softwoods, especially when rift sawn. This stock would make perfect casing stock for trimming out windows or just about anything else you might need to finish on your project list. Don't wait too long; this is priced to sell @ $2.00 per linear foot. $70.00
87 091127 0283-4

64' C Select, 8' min./10' max./9' average length, 6" average width Originally rough sawn 1x6 FSC C&Btr vertical grain stock, this material has been re-sawn to yield 1/4 - 1/2" thick pieces by 6" wide and 8-10' long. This package would make a perfect complement to our other Doug Fir classifieds. It's as clear as you can find @ $2.99 @ linear foot. $191.36
87 091127 0276-5

IPE' DECKING LUMBER

09110725 [12]

MAHOGANY - SANTOS

When our customers asked for an economical alternative for mahogany, we recommend Santos Mahogany. It's got the color, hardness, density; it's wide, it's clear, and it's almost four bucks cheaper a board foot compared to South American mahogany. 4/4 Santos is $591 per 100bf. We even stock it in 5/4 too @ $602 per 100bf! Price level and quantity discounts apply! Call for current pricing today!

SOFT MAPLE - WORMY

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' lengths. Tom faxed a copy of his bunk bed plans and called to discuss the choice of wood. White Oak - too hard, Pine - too soft -Wormy Soft Maple just right! He liked the character. 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 $163!", I thought it was time to raise the price, but decided to write a classifed instead. $163 13 0402 45

100', 4/4, Select & Better, $173, or 100', 4/4, #1 & Better, $158

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!

SOUTHERN YELLOW PINE

#1 & Better, Southern Yellow Pine

Make your new garden bed using Thermally Modified Yellow Pine-

We've been promoting thermally modified yellow pine for outdoor decking for sometime now. Lately however, and thanks to a customer who bought thermally modified yellow pine to make a series of raised garden beds for his new home, we thought to share the good news with you.

When you think about it, thermally modified yellow pine is perfect for this application and you don't have to worry about any chemicals seeping into your garden bed. Also, thermally modified yellow pine is rated to last more than 25 years, far outlasting treated lumber.

The thermal modification process works to fix the yellow pine's cellular structure, making it rigid, hard and completely water insoluble. Without this moisture component, the wood cannot absorb or emit moisture, thus becoming more stable and resistant to decay. Even insects and microbes turn their noses up at thermally modified wood since the wood's natural sugars are long gone. What's left is a hard and rigid product, less vulnerable to decay and more dimensionally stable and resistant to warping.

When you plan your new garden bed, consider using Thermally Modified Yellow Pine from LL Johnson Lumber. The material is available in a Select Framing Grade and comes in 2 x 6 nominal sizes, from 8 to 16' long. We also stock 4 x 4s for the corner posts. Please give us a call so we can help with your design and pricing!

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.

4/4 C select Southern Yellow Pine
1X6 Yellow Pine CSel

Nothing beats Southern Yellow Pine for flooring. It's tough with a warm glow that will last many generations. Lengths can run up to 16' long and we can rip two edges and surface to your desired thickness; making the boards ready for tongue and grooving. We're happy to list it here for just $2.23/bf when you buy at least 100bf or $2.05/bf for more than 500'. If you're looking for something to make a lasting impression, this might just make the grade! If you’re looking for more character and knots, we can supply those grades as well.

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

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!
06 080328 4/5

145', 4/4, FAS, Quarter sawn

Please consider this quarter sawn sapele recovered from a recent return. This stock has been resawn to yield 1/8" planks of random width by 16'. Native to Africa, sapele is highly valued because it compares to Genuine Mahogany. Although sapele's dark tones and purple-brown hues make it little more reddish than Genuine Mahogany, it's price will definitely carry the day when compared to Genuine. Sapele also works well with hand and machine tools and is used mainly for furniture, musical instruments, and marine applications. Don't let this one pass you by when you're considering your next mahogany project. $4.55 @ board foot with no charge for the machine work! 659.75 [87 2011 (0474 l 4)]

SASSAFRAS
420' 4/4 #1 Common

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. We stock 1 common ($1.65 @ bf over 100bf) and select and better ($2.06 @ bf over 100bf). Both grades yield plenty of clear lumber as defined by the grade. Because of its strength and great price, we are sure you will feel much better after finding a place for Sassafras in your next project. 87091202 4-5

WHITE OAK

166', 8/4, #1 Common

We don't usually buy #1 common white oak, however, when Mike inspected a recent load of select & better, he noticed some questionable boards within some packs. After sorting the material, it was determined that this small lot should be sold as #1 common instead of select & better. We're offering the entire 166 package at $2.58 @ board foot (that's the 500 price!). You stand to save big when considering this package, how can you go wrong? $428.28
[ 8720111125 (6830 I 4)]

Approx. 297bf, 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.

100bf, 4/4, Select and Better, Quartersawn White Oak,

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 quartersawn white oak. 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 material a chance to help you create your own reproductions of this popular style! $459
87110725 [12]

60bf, 4/4, #1, Common, White Oak, Rift

After you quarter a log, then slice off a few quarter sawn boards, you get to rift sawn, 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 needs @ $2.85/bf, $171
