I needed some custom wood cut for a project. They helped me out with a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend this company.

Questions & Answers

I am a potter interested in saw dust for a firing. I remember some years ago, stopping by your shop and being able to pick some up for free. Is this still something that's available? Many thanks.

Yes. Please bring a container & we would be happy to fill it with free sawdust.

I just got into wood working and realized how important it is to have square broads. Do you sell s4s lumber(more specifically red oak)? Kinda intimidated to just walk in looking clueless.

Brax W | Oct 25, 2019
Michael Zehner | Oct 25, 2019

They have s4s red oak boards. I've been in your shoes as a new woodworker just 6 months ago. I was also intimidated walking in my first time. Just go to the cashier desk and tell them you are justing getting into woodworking and looking for s4s red oak boards. They will show you where they are and be super helpful. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Once you go to NW Lumber, you'll rarely go anywhere else. Good luck!

Do you carry Lazy Susan hardware?

Lester Miller | Dec 28, 2021
Northwest Lumber Co | Dec 28, 2021

No hardware, sorry. Wood & hand tools.

do you cut wood for a fee

Roark Webb | Oct 24, 2021
Northwest Lumber Co | Oct 24, 2021

Its kind of a loaded question. What do you need cut, HOW do you need it cut, etc. We only cut wood that we sell. That way if anything goes wrong it can be replaced. We can refer you to one of our customers if you need cuts made on something that you've already purchased or complicated cuts. Different cuts vary in cost. Time & the machine to be used are also factors.

Do you have mango wood available?

Daniel | Oct 24, 2020
Ashley Greeley | Oct 24, 2020

Not currently. We have not been able to locate any.

Do you have one half inch prefinished maple plywood?

A Google User | Oct 25, 2019
Northwest Lumber Co | Oct 25, 2019

Hello there. No, we only carry Birch prefinished (we call it UV Birch) and we have some in 1/4" (one sided), 1/2 (double sided), and 3/4 (double sided). We also have Maple in 1/2" unfinished. The Birch looks very similar to Maple, though. Come in & we'd be happy to show you.

Do you have creosote lumber for a bridge deck 3"x10" or something like that?

Jerry Lewis | Oct 25, 2019
Jeff Schmidt | Oct 25, 2019

Sorry, we do not

Would you do be able to plane live edge wood that was cut from a maple tree with a chainsaw? Between 24 and 35 inches wide.

joshua myers | Oct 25, 2019
Northwest Lumber Co | Oct 25, 2019

We would use our slab-flattening machine (60" wide) since our planer's maximum is 18 INCHES, not 22. First, we would have to inspect the piece. No promises until we see it for ourselves. If its dry and can be flattened, the going rate is about $120/hour. Mike or Jeff can look at it and estimate how long it will take to get it flat.

Could anyone tell me, do they have a wood planer? And if so would you know how much they charge to use.

James Taylor | Oct 25, 2019
Northwest Lumber Co | Oct 25, 2019

James, First, we need to inspect your project to make sure it can go into the machines. The planer max width is 18", the 'your wood' price is $35 set up and $1.50/bdft. The sander is 36" max and $45 for 10 minutes, then $3/minute after that. Make sure all of the excess glue is scraped off of your project, it will cut down on time. The slab-flattener is huge and goes by time and the slab-flattening fellows have to look at each individual project to determine how long it will take them to quote a price. In the future, to get the correct and most accurate answers, call the store or send us an email directly. Thank you.

Hi, I need 1 peeled red cedar log about 7 feet x 10 inch diameter. Might you have anything like this ? If so what is your price range ?

siknova2 | Oct 25, 2019

No logs. Furniture grade lumber. Furniture grade live edge slabs. You can find this and more information on Northwestlumberco.com.

Do you do mill work

Jerry Fox | Oct 25, 2018
Raymond Roberts | Oct 25, 2018

Do you have ruff cut slabs, bark on edges for countertops?

Rebecca Paul | Oct 25, 2018
Ashley Greeley | Oct 25, 2018

They do have Live Edge Slabs. Most of the time the bark, over time, will fall off of those but you can glue it back on if desired. Wood types depend on the day. Sizes depend on the day. Just call or go in and look.

Do they have free cut-offs available?

A Dunbar | Oct 25, 2018
Ashley Greeley | Oct 25, 2018

Nope. Nothing is scrap. They have discounted cut-offs in a bin. FrMee pallets, though. No cuts on the pallets, take them as they are. Indy urban hardwood probably has free cut offs

do you carry Marine grade plywood

Bruce Hickman | Oct 25, 2018
Ashley Greeley | Oct 25, 2018

Yes we do.

Do you carry 1" x 6" gutter board?

Jack Osborne | Oct 25, 2018
Northwest Lumber Co | Oct 25, 2018

No sir we do not. We used to carry building supplies like that for roofing & such, but haven't since the 70's, maybe even earlier.

Do you have reclaimed pallet wood ?

Jonathan Tellez | Oct 25, 2018
Northwest Lumber Co | Oct 25, 2018

We have free whole entire pallets but we cannot do ANY millwork on them. You can take them as they are. But also we have a TON of domestic woods! Such as red oak, ash, white oak, a little bit of knotty pine, some cedar....just to name a few of the more rustic-looking woods... which will also be much easier to work with than a potentially chemically-treated pallet. Working with pallets can be dangerous because of the toxic chemicals.

I was in the store last week and you had a new book on wood turning by a local author. I believe the cost was around $39. What was the title and author's name?

Mike Hankins | Oct 25, 2018
