Walnut Lumber for Sale
Wood Vendors supplies only the finest Walnut Lumber from the Midwest region of the U.S. A large majority of the walnut hardwood lumber produced is steamed. The steaming process blends the stark color difference between the dark heartwood and the white sapwood. Walnut lumber is graded on a scale that allows more defects than other woods such as red oak, cherry and alder. This is due to the nature of wood itself, walnut wood tends to have more knots and other defects than other species. The main things to consider when buying walnut are grade (clarity or clear cuttings in the wood) and color (black- heartwood percentage). Select and Better is the clearest grade of black walnut lumber, while #1 common, or rustic grades will have more knots and other defects. Color is a separate issue from grade. Although walnut wood is steamed to blend the heart and sap, there is still discernible difference in color between the two. Luckily most sapwood occurs on the edge of boards allowing this part to be ripped off when prepping the lumber for use.
At Wood Vendors we only sell hardwoods, so we are able to focus strictly on your lumber needs. We bring many years of domestic hardwood lumber supply experience to your every black walnut inquiry. Although it is possible to buy hardwood directly on our site, we encourage anyone considering purchasing hardwood lumber to give us a call at 877-983-6367 to discuss your particular needs. We are here to help.

Being in the retail and custom display industry we are not allowed an ideal amount of time to complete a project. Pat took the time and had the
patience to help me figure out what type of wood would best suit my needs. He was also very diligent in working with the mill to complete my order
very quickly. He even stayed on top of the trucking company to make sure it was delivered as promised. The walnut we received surpassed our
expectations in terms of quality and consistency. Our client was so happy with the pieces we produced for them that they duplicated their order two
weeks later. We couldn't have done it without the expertise of Pat and his team. Jess Worthington, Duggal Visual Solutions, NYC www.Duggal.com

This is a follow-on to a thread in the Sawmill Creek forum (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?p=1275887#post1275887). Background: Asked if
anyone had any experiences with WoodVendors.com. Nobody indicated any but I threw the dice and placed an order. Here are my comments on the
experience. Ran across their website from a Google search looking for rough cut walnut. Communication excellent. Telephone answered promptly and
courteously. Email responses received within hours. Ordered 250 bd ft of 4/4 Select & Better, Walnut, KD, Rgh, RW, L 6-8' at $4.50/bd ft. Placed the
order and received a telephone call Monday morning asking if 8' boards skip planed to 15/16" would be acceptable. Agreed that was acceptable. Wood on
my dock Friday morning. By my rough calculations, the delivery contained about 268 bd ft - definitely not a short count. All of the boards 6" or
wider. Most in the 6-8" range. One monster 15" wide. None of the boards shorter than 8'. Most in the 100"-105" range. Some over 9'. Most of the boards
have beautiful grain and good color; a little more sapwood than optimum, but balancing that against the overage on board foot and I'm satisfied. Minor
amount of end checking, surface defects per grade or better. Very minor warpage: no obvious cupping, twist, or bow. A few of the boards had mild to
moderate crook. Overall impression of the wood quality - Not quite FAS, but at the high end of Select. Don't have a moisture meter, so I can't give a
definitive reading on moisture content, but handling and inspecting each individual board, I didn't get an uncomfortable feeling about moisture
content. I believe a week or two of acclimation and it'll be good to go. Bottom Line: Would I do it again? You bet! Disclaimer: I have no business nor
personal relationship with the company or with any of the personnel of WoodVendors.com other than as a paying customer.
