With the
many specialty items Buckeye Hardwood & Lumber Company
carries, it is sometimes easy to forget where it all began. Buckeye Hardwoods stocks a variety of different lumber.
Generally, the raw lumber is 15/16" hit and miss. For a small
fee, it can be planed and/or straight line ripped. Lumber can also be sorted
for a variety of characteristics such as width, length, color,
character, and so on. Many species are available at
5/4" and 8/4" thick. Please ask if you have any special orders
and we will see what we can do! For information on custom moulding packages, please visit our
millworks page. |
With
our recent building additions, we are able to keep more lumber
in stock than ever. We generally carry the following
species in stock: Ash, Red &
White Oak, Knotty Alder, Maple, Walnut, Cherry, Birch, Poplar,
Hickory, Butternut, Birch, Vertical Grained Fir, and Brazilian
Cherry. Any other species (including exotic species) can be
ordered in and are available within a short time. To view
information about the individual species, please visit our
species page.
It is our policy to get
lumber from areas in which it best grows. For example,
Pennsylvania is well-known for producing prime Cherry, so we
make it a point to purchase most of our Cherry from the
Pennsylvania region. When applicable, we deal in Northern
hardwoods as opposed to Southern species. Due to the
shorter growing season in Northern climates, trees take longer
to reach maturity and are harder as a result. For that
reason, a species such as red oak is significantly different if
grown in the Northern United States as compared to in the
Southern United States. We also take pride in the quality
of lumber we sell, so we strictly adhere to grading rules and
regulations. Please ask if you have any questions
regarding the various ways of grading lumber.
Please
remember, that although we do sell to the public, due to the
size of our facilities, we ask that all customers (especially
those wanting to place small orders) please call ahead to see if
the product is available and easily accessible. This
allows us to access our lumber and most efficiently use your
time and our staff--one of the many ways we keep our prices
reasonable.
Due to the fact that the lumber/flooring
industry is very volatile and prices tend to change often, we do
not publish a price sheet. For a current price on our
products or
if you would like more information, please contact us by
phone,
email, or submit a request form
online.
