We offer quality hardwood lumber in many species. Our hardwoods are kiln dried and are of at least select & better grade. We offer hardwoods rough and skip planed with enough room to work with. Hardwood boards are of premium quality and are flat enough to yield common usable thicknesses after flattening and surfacing in their total length. We do not sell common grade hardwood lumber and you will not have to worry about the tragic waste involved in using twisted or warped boards. Using our quality hardwood lumber will add to your bottom line due to price and through the dependable quality of materials. Note: we do not charge extra for wide boards in our hardwood lumber store.

This has become my go to place for hardwood...and I happily drive 30 miles to get there. The quality and selection of kiln dried hardwood is fantastic and the pricing is the best I have seen in a retail setting. They sell rough sawn lumber which is very difficult to find in the Chicagoland area in a retail store... there is no reason to pay higher prices at other dealers who sell only pre-surfaced or dimensional lumber which in too many cases is not flat so you have to mill it anyways and you end up with a final product thinner than what you intended on buying.
