This area of our website talks about, and shows a variety of interesting grains, colors and patterns that are sometimes found in wood. These specialty woods can add a unique look to many woodworking projects. Some of the more common features have their own page, which can be found by hovering over the "Specialty & Unique Woods" heading on the left side. That will open a drop-down box that has links to the specific pages for Curly, Birdseye, Bark Pocket, Spalted, Quartersawn & Wormy. These are all items that are regularly in stock, although the quantity and thicknesses available can change, so it is good to email or call ahead before coming to look through our stock.
In addition to the special items above, we also sometimes find unusual grains or colors in just about every type of wood we have. It may be just a single board, or it could be a group of boards from the same tree. It isn't practical to list them here because the availability is erratic, and they usually sell pretty quickly. When we find this type of material, we will display it on the end caps of our rows of lumber. This makes the material more visible and ready to purchase.
We often make up names for these boards based on what it looks like to us. Names like "Cats Paw Cherry", "Tear Drop Ash", or "Striped Maple". When you stop in, you can tour around the store and see if anything is available.
