Great rough cut lumber, friendly staff. Consider them over the big box stores, if your project allows.

Report
Very very bad experience. I bought 12ft boards with 2ft cracks. Ended up with 10ft board. Boards badly weathered. Contacted the office and sent pics of all the problems. I was told owner would call me. Never heard from anyone. Check your wood thoroughly.
