What to Expect When You Visit

Walking into Lombard’s feels like stepping into a woodworker’s paradise, with the rich aroma of hardwood and organized stacks of lumber sorted by species and grade. The knowledgeable staff will greet you near the counter and quickly assess your project needs, whether you’re hand-selecting boards for a custom dining table or ordering materials for a kitchen renovation.

Board dimensions range from thin stock for veneering to thick planks for beam applications, with widths up to 12+ inches available in select species.

Beyond raw lumber, Lombard’s stocks hardwood plywood in matching species, pre-made doors for cabinet projects, and specialty hardware for fine woodworking applications. Their lumber grading follows industry standards, with clear explanations of what FAS, Select, and #1 Common grades mean for your specific project requirements.
