Appalachian Lumber

The Appalachian region supplies a wide range of species, all with one thing in common: superior quality. The Appalachian region has warm summers to assist growth but the cooler spring and fall seasons and cold winters to allow this growth to be gradual. Slow maturity means tight growth rings, strong fibers and consistent grains that lead to strength, durability and beauty.

Types of Appalachian Lumber are:

  • Ash - With an open grain and a coarse texture, Ash is quite workable and has good finishing properties. Ash is a favorite with furniture and architectural millwork manufacturers.
  • Cherry - A natural beauty sought after by builders of the finest cabinetry and furniture in the world.
  • Hard Maple - Hard Maple is hard, heavy and admired for its bright white color and fine grain. Its beauty and strength makes it a favorite for furniture, flooring and cabinetry.
  • Red Oak - Red Oak is a timeless choice widely used in furniture, flooring, cabinetry, joinery and architectural millwork. We sort by color to help reduce waste and produce cabinets and furniture.
  • Soft Maple - Soft maple is less dense than hard maple, lower priced and is used as a substitute. It has similar grain and figure with good machining properties and outstanding color and fine texture.
  • White Oak - A hard, versatile lumber, White Oak is a favorite in furniture, flooring, doors, cabinetry and millwork. White oak has more figure than red oak, with a distinctive open grain and coarse texture.
  • Basswood - A premier carving and turning hardwood, our basswood is a preferred species among high-end shutter manufacturers.
