Butternut
337' 4/4 #1 Common Butternut
Sorted out of an S&B package, our inspector Mike put together this smaller package of 4/4 #1Com Butternut that is 6'-8'. The sapwood of butternut is nearly white, while the heartwood is light brown with other various brown tones mixed in. Sounds a little bit like walnut, doesn't it? Turns out that it IS a relative to walnut. During EXPO we sold a couple of packages of butternut for a rustic kitchen project. Maybe that provides some inspiration. The price on this material is greatly reduced: S&B typically sells at $4.82/bf for 100+... this package of #1Com is being offered at $2.50/bf! If you can work around the knots, or somehow work them in, this could be just what you need for your next project or two. $842.50
06 080123 0549-3
98' 4/4 #2 Common Butternut
Pick this package up to supplement our #1Com butternut classified, or take it on its own. This was sorted as #2Com by our inspector and priced to sell at $1.40/bf. From what I've read, butternut machines well with both hand and power tools and is supposed to be a great wood for carving. Perhaps a creative and crafty individual could build jewelry or trinket boxes from this material. Maybe you've got another idea. It is in stock at our Charlotte yard and can be made available if anyone wants to come by and check it out! $137.20
06 080123 0550-3
364' 8/4 #1 Common Butternut
In addition to the load of 4/4 butternut that our inspector sorted through, we've also got some 8/4 material in the same condition. This 364bf package runs 6-8' in length and graded by our inspector Mike as #1Com. Commonly used for furniture, I've read that butternut does, in fact, resemble American black walnut. It's just not quite as dark. We'll sell this package partial or whole for just $2.75/bf. $1001.00
06 080123 0532-3
200' 8/4 #2 Common Butternut
So here's a classified for the #2 Com 8/4 butternut. This package has 200 bf of 6'-8' material and at $1.75/bf it is a dollar less per board foot than the #1Com listed above. The right craftsman might be able to put this package to use in furniture parts or cabinetry, or maybe cut it up for carving. S&B 8/4 sells for $9.92/bf for 100bf. Compared to that, $1.75 for #1Com seems like a steal... Come by and have a look for yourself; you be the judge. $350.00
06 080123 0533-3
Brazilian Redwood
500 lineal feet, 1x6. Brazilian Redwood decking is also known as Massaranduba. This clear deep dark red specie combines the beauty of real wood with natural durability, strength and easy maintenance. The machined surfaces are excellent to create a real touch of class and luxury. $1.69/LF.

128' 8/4 C select Cedar.
As clear as Mother Nature grows it, this C & Better Alaskan Yellow Cedar is beautiful. Normally found along the Pacific coast in Alaska and British Columbia, or in the Cascade Range of Oregon and Washington, Alaskan Cedar is worth your consideration. This tree is one of the slowest growing conifers in the Northwest making its wood extremely durable and excellent for a number specialty uses. We've sold it before for boat building, carving, outdoor furniture, paneling, musical instruments and flagpoles. Considering this special classified price of $7.54 @ bf, we're sure one of these applications will suit your project specs! $966.00

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.
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. $360

This package is 90% red one face, with 6 pieces from 12-1/4" to 14-1/2", sanded to 3/4", is offered at less than $10.50. $840

Hickory
419bf 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 419bf of 13'-14' lengths up for grabs out back and if you take it all, we're offering it for just $3.22/bf. $1350

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

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... $569 per 100bf! Price level and quantity discounts apply!

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 Select and Better Soft Maple Wormy
Mark called from Pittsburg PA. His wife want's Wormy Soft Maple kitchen cabinets and we have the perfect answer.

It's soft enough to sand and stain, is harder than Poplar, but priced even less! $173 for 100bf.

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 Southern Yellow Pine #2Com
Every once in a while, a gem like this surfaces from a corner of one of our warehouses and hasn't received a whole lot of attention. There should not be anything wrong with it, but how can we sell it if no one realizes it is even there? This package contains 28 pieces of 12' #2Com Southern Yellow Pine... and the first thing that comes to my mind is that it would make for a pretty neat 'rustic' floor in your cottage or home. Interested? This package is priced to sell... $1.18/bf or $199.

Red Oak 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!

It's heartwood color is brown or light reddish brown that darkens beautifully with age to a deeper brown. Grown in Africa, Sapele machines beautifully yet is comparable to Oak in strength, making it much stronger than its look alike South American (Swietenia) or African (Khaya) mahogany. With all these fine points going for it, I think it's enough to convince you that Sapele is right for you too! This plain sawn package is already ripped on one edge and surface to 3/4".

During Expo, Mike sorted these special packages of select and better walnut that
are heavy to sap compared to heart. Like cherry, walnut runs lighter or sappier
when the lumber is harvested from new or managed forests. Compared to other
hardwoods, walnut is the king when it comes to cabinet or furniture timber. It
machines and finishes beautifully and if your project requires a small package
these were made just for you! Take your pick or take them all! $3.45 @ bf
667' 3/4 Walnut (mixed grade)
So heres something a little different -- we received a 667bf package of Walnut hit or missed at 3/4". Our inspector, Mike, has taken the time to sort it out by grade, and here is the breakdown: 149bf of Sel & Btr, 251bf of #1Com, and 267bf of #2Com material. In 4/4, at price level 4, this combination of material would sell for about $1700 but this time around you can take all of this back to your shop for just $993! Maybe you've got some drawer boxes to make, or maybe you've got something else in mind. Don't miss this opportunity to save!
