Domestic Hardwoods

Domestic hardwoods come from a variety of tree species that grow in North America. These hardwoods include walnut, poplar, oak, maple and cherry. Black walnut has long been known as the continent's premier hardwood, remaining popular throughout the past two centuries. The wood of the black walnut tree is perfect for all kinds of construction because of its deep color and its extreme strength. It also has outstanding working and finishing characteristics. It is often used to make furniture, cabinets and flooring.

The wood of the maple tree is also very popular and very important to our domestic hardwood supply. There are several different types of maple hardwood. One such type is sugar maple, which is turned into lumber and used to create truly durable products. Items such as bowling pins and butcher's blocks are commonly made from maple as well.

Internet Lumber carries a dozen varieties of domestic woods, including hardwoods such as black walnut and maple. Maple is so popular, in fact, that the company actually carries five different types of maple wood in their online store--hard maple, soft maple, birdseye maple, curly maple and quilted maple. Quilted maple comes from the Northwest, and it is another fine example of figured wood.

Internet Lumber supplies domestic hardwood and exotic hardwood to both hobbyists, cabinet shops, and commercial builders. The company requires low minimum order amounts: the minimum for most of their rough lumber products is set at 20 board feet or less.
