Lumberyard Directory

Editors note: this list is no longer being updated as of 1/1/2020

This lumberyard map is the result of a long-term survey asking readers to report their favorite lumberyards. It was created from a survey conducted by Managing Editor Brendan Bernhardt Gaffney, as a part of an upcoming article on sourcing lumber, and the story of two particular lumberyards with very different stock and similar motivations. Each point on the map can be clicked to reveal the information for that point, including address, phone number and website. Listed below is also a directory of the entries that you can browse through, independent of the map.

The map and directory are not intended as endorsements or advertisements for the lumberyards they feature – rather, they are an attempt to share recommended lumberyards from our readers so that others might have an easier time finding a lumberyard near them, or discover a new one on a trip or vacation.

It’s also a living document – as you can see, the list has blind spots and can be improved upon. If you have a favorite local lumberyard you don’t see listed, or would like to add your two cents to a yard that’s already represented, feel free to send it along to brendan.gaffney@fwmedia.com along with your name and a short review describing why you like the lumberyard. This isn’t a list of every lumberyard – please only submit your favorite yards. I’d also appreciate only receiving positive listings – while there are certainly bad yards out there, they don’t need to be put on the map here. This is a guide, curated to provide good locations, not a review page for every wood monger. We’re hoping to help everyone find the best wood available in their area.

I’ve also seen gum tree and other unusual woods there as well. In my experience, they deal with hobbyists looking for small to medium quantities of lumber. They’ve also got a bargain barn with lumber that is graded a little lower than the premium lumber in the main barn. Overall it’s a great place to buy lumber and the quality is always great. Their hours aren’t really set, normally it’s a call ahead 30 minutes before you arrive scenario.

I bought the sapele in the attached photo from them. The manager also gave my son a scrap piece of ipe which he (my son) spent the next week trying and failing to dent.” – Josh McCall

Great selection of exotic and domestic woods at very attractive prices. The couple who run the place couldn’t be nicer or more knowledgeable.” – Josh Cook “This is a large lumber yard with the lumber arranged in a manner that makes it easy to see what is available. There are also tables and pallets with more wood. There are long boards, wide boards, large slabs, veneer, turning blanks and small “chunks” of wood of both domestic and exotic woods. The first time I visited I made the mistake of not having enough time. If you are into woodworking, you will probably want to spend at least 2 hours getting to know the place. The best thing about this place is that it is a Mom & Pop place. I started out calling and got Cynthia on the phone. It was quickly apparent that she knows a lot more about wood than I do, and probably most woodworkers. She has a degree in Forestry and really knows her woods. They both are willing to spend time talking to you to try to match you to what you need and to tell you about the woods you are buying. It is obvious that this place is a labor of love.” – Ric McWaters

I especially like their bargain bin, where boards are greatly reduced due to minor imperfections.” – Peter O’Hanlon “They deal almost entirely in roughsawn wood, which may be a limitation for some, but otherwise, they have excellent quality wood at very good prices. They have a good selection of the standard domestics. They’ve been trying to expand the stock of imports, so they don’t have a huge selection, but it is growing. The same with plywood, they’re expanding, so they don’t have a huge selection yet. They also don’t carry tools or other supplies (finishing products, etc.), but if all you’re looking for is wood, I highly recommend it.” – Scott Keys

Don’s Lumber

1126 18th St, Cameron, Wisconsin, WI 54822

(715) 458-6500

“I found Don listing lumber on Craigslist. I had an afternoon off and decided to drive to Barron, WI from the Twin Cities (about a 2-hour drive) to check it out. Anyway, it is just Don selling lumber on behalf of the local sawmill (I’m not sure exactly of the relationship), which carries a great selection of regional species for Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. What I like best is that I am seeking rough sawn lumber because I like to have control of the milling, and the prices are great. They are much cheaper than anyone else I’ve found in the Twin Cities area. And he will also deliver to the Twin Cities, for a maximum charge of $20. If you order enough, he won’t even charge delivery.” – Brett Bozyk

H & K Woods Inc

9621 WI-76, Neenah, WI 54956

(920) 749-2952 “I’ve bought rough-cut lumber twice from H&K Woods and feel like I’ve been treated very fair each time. They’ve had a good selection of wood species and sizes both times I’ve been there. They have a smaller selection of boards in one storage area that will often take care of smaller projects. For larger projects, allow a bit of time for them to unstack the larger piles of wood so you can sort through them looking for the right boards.” – Gary Petersen

“Their presence on the Montreal island and their relative closeness from the densely populated area of Montreal are a benediction for most Montreal woodworkers. They also have a very wide variety of exotic woods.” – James Forrest “This remains the only lumberyard I’ve been to where they sold true Lignum Vitae (not an imitation verawood or the like) for reasonable prices, in sizeable pieces. Went there on vacation, and had a lot of fun looking at their offerings. Incredible selection of odd materials – check out the carved duck supply section.” – Brendan Gaffney Lois Lumber Ltd

“This place is fantastic. The dimensions of timber they had were fantastic. Exotic 12×12 beams and whatnot. The place is huge and had everything. It blew my little mind. They prefer to have appointments made, but they are cool people and care about wood deeply. It also helps if you can speak Japanese. The yard is in the middle of the Tokyo lumber district of Shinkiba (city of wood).” – Casey Moffitt
