Today was my first time ever in a real lumber yard. The experience was AMAZING! I was rather intimidated when I first got there and didnt really know where to begin, but the owner, Rick, quickly came out, greeted me, and showed me around the entire property. He explained their services, showed me the tools and machines they have available to customize your sizes and wood for you if necessary, and he checked on me during my time there, to see if I was finding everything okay. EVERYONE was so friendly! I got to meet the City Mayor while there too! The other, frequent customers were very helpful

Friendliest place around! My wife and I found the live edge table top we wanted along with another beautiful piece for a coffee table. Fair prices, great help, and zero pressure to buy. We had a fine country lunch at a clean, nice diner next door and didn't want to leave the town of Concord. Wish we lived there. True Southern hospitality like most people in Atlanta only dream of!

Excellent selection of domestic and exotic wood, with enough stock to build just about anything you want. The staff is incredibly friendly, the showroom is laid out nicely, and the prices are fair. I live 40 plus miles away and make the trip for 90% of my custom builds.

Great selection and knowledge of species. I saw a couple of slabs in other reviewers' pictures that I have since bought and turned into furniture. The pine slab and walnut behind it is now a kitchen table and chairs in my cabin in Blue Ridge, and the big cedar slab is a mid century style dining table.

I was looking for a wood slab that I could use to build a desk. After a very helpful and informative call, I made the drive from Atlanta and found exactly what I was looking for! I ended up with a beautiful piece of cedar, with swirls like Jupiter. The staff here is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. Whenever I'm ready for another woodworking project, I'll definitely be back!
