Tips for First-Time Buyers

• Bring project plans and measurements to help calculate accurate board foot requirements and discuss grain orientation needs
• Allow time to hand-select boards, especially for projects requiring color and grain matching across multiple pieces
• Ask about moisture content if you plan to work the lumber immediately, as some pieces may benefit from additional air drying
• Inquire about figured wood availability if your project could benefit from curly, quilted, or other premium grain patterns
• Discuss custom milling options before purchasing if you need specific thicknesses not available in standard dimensions
• Consider purchasing slightly more footage than calculated to account for defects and allow for grain matching flexibility
