Great Spirit Hardwoods | Our Story & Our Quality Hardwood Lumber & Architectural Woodwork Products

Great Spirit Hardwoods was founded on the premise that there was an obvious need for a higher quality hardwood product in the market. The founder, as an experienced furniture maker, had found that there was an obvious lack of trusted hardwood suppliers which had effected productivity, efficiency along with lost profitability due to "waste" during the production process. Our opening of Great Spirit Hardwoods as an official, stocked retail store in 2014 was the answer. Since our founding, we have upped the game of both local and national furniture and cabinet makers and have greatly increased and expanded our product offerings.

I really enjoy buying my specialty lumber here. Reasonable prices, no pushy salesmen and everyone is super nice. Their calculations on what to charge ($ per board foot) are spot on, and all the lumber is excellent quality, i will be back again and again. Thank you Great Spirit!...
