Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Bring your cutting list and ask staff to help calculate board foot requirements – they can suggest efficient layouts to minimize waste
• Plan extra time to hand-select boards, especially for visible surfaces where grain pattern and color matching matter
• Check moisture content if you’re concerned about movement – properly kiln-dried lumber should be 6-8% MC
• Ask about figured wood availability if your project calls for special visual effects
• Bring a truck or trailer for longer boards – 8-foot and longer pieces won’t fit in most cars
• Call ahead for exotic species availability, as inventory can vary seasonally
