Hardwoods

Quality First

We understand the level of quality needed for the top tier project work. We begin by sourcing premium hardwoods with consistent grade and color. We maintain an inventory of KD domestic and imported species in a variety of thicknesses, width and length sorts to meet your custom specs.

Twice Inspected

The majority of our hardwoods is FAS grade or better. Trained inspectors verify grade, thickness uniformity, width, and length of each board — twice — first in receiving and again after kiln drying against National Hardwood Lumber Association standards.

Properly Dried & Stress Relieved

Green lumber is uniformly placed on special drying sticks to increase airflow, reduce sticker stain and air dried under roof. Our state-of-the-art kiln drying operation employs a carefully controlled process to produce stress-relieved, flat, stable lumber. We reinspect each board to remove any defect or downgrade that developed in the drying process.

Specified Sorts & Options

AT TBM, we focus on specification. Our automated stacker/sorter efficiently organizes inventory and can be programmed to customize sorts to reduce waste, increase yield and shorten lead times. In addition to random width and length (RWL), we stock time-saving, pre-sorted options:

Specific inch sorting for 6" up to 14”
Unique 10"+ wider material
No minimum quantities

Domestic Hardwoods

We inventory a full line of premium 4/4-8/4 FAS hardwoods with some species of 10/4, 12/4 and 16/4 — all optimized and bundled by length, width and grade, including FSC Certified. Because some of the most beautiful color and grain lumber comes from the hardwoods grown in our backyard, most of our domestic species are sourced locally from the Appalachian region from West Virginia to New York. Need something unusual? Just ask. We can custom sort for most any specification and source hardwoods through our network of trusted suppliers and mills.
