Bulk Hardwood Lumber for Sale (Wholesale Domestic Hardwood Lumber)

Our minimum order is 8,000 board feet, which is approximately one truckload. We no longer offer custom cutting for orders smaller than 8,000 board feet.

Domestic hardwood lumber is lumber that comes from logs that are both cut and milled in the United States.

Lead times vary based on the inventory of logs we have on hand, weather (since this influences our logging capabilities) and overall customer demand on a week-by-week basis. If a fast turnaround on an order is important to you, please let us know when you fill out our quote request form. Our team will let you know whether or not we can meet your order deadline.

Typically, green hardwood lumber will cost anywhere from $2 to $12 a board foot. This cost will vary based on the type of lumber you order, as well as quantity, thickness and lumber grade. Please note that this is the price for green lumber, not kiln-dried lumber. If you're buying from a lumber company that sells kiln-dried lumber, the cost will likely be a few dollars higher per board foot.

Hardwood lumber comes from many species of trees. In the U.S., these include basswood, beech, black walnut, cherry, maple, hickory, red alder, red elm, red oak, white oak, white ash, sapgum, yellow birch, yellow poplar and aromatic red cedar.

The most common types of hardwood lumber we sell are white oak, walnut, red oak and poplar.

Hardwood lumber sizes are typically in quarters. For example, 4/4 lumber would refer to a board that is 1 inch thick. 6/4 lumber would be 1.5 inches thick, and 8/4 would be 2 inches thick. Lumber's rough size is more than its actual size once it's surfaced on two sides.

Green lumber is fresh-cut lumber that is not kiln-dried. Green lumber is typically purchased by lumber stores that specialize in kiln drying. The stores buy bulk from a supplier like Beiler's Sawmill, then dry it and sell it to the end user.

Green lumber can also be used for applications where kiln drying isn't necessary. Often, green lumber is used in outdoor applications such as trailer beds, barn beams or fence posts. Lumber should only be used for indoor applications if it is kiln-dried. If it is, it's likely to shrink as it dries, warp, twist or crack. We do not offer kiln-dried wood, so if that's what you're in the market for, we recommend checking your local lumber store!

We do not offer these products. These are all typically made from softwoods, which we do not mill. They are also typically kiln-dried and planed. We only provide green, rough-cut hardwoods in bulk quantities.

Since our sawmill is based in Quarryville, Pennsylvania, we prefer to buy timber from locations near this area. If you are located approximately two hours away, or within 100 miles of Lancaster County, reach out to us for an offer.
