Quality Hardwood Lumber at a Fraction of Retail Prices

Looking for affordable hardwood lumber without paying premium retail markups?

At Kuykendall Contracting, we produce rough-cut green lumber directly from our sawmill, allowing customers to purchase quality hardwoods for significantly less than traditional lumber suppliers. In many cases, our rough-cut lumber costs up to 50% less than kiln-dried hardwood sold through commercial lumber yards.

Whether you're building furniture, crafting custom woodworking projects, milling your own slabs, constructing outdoor structures, or stocking lumber for future projects, rough-cut green lumber offers tremendous value for anyone willing to let the wood dry naturally.

Why Buy Rough Cut Green Lumber?

Save Thousands on Lumber Costs

The biggest advantage of buying green lumber is simple:

More Lumber for Your Money

Most commercial hardwood suppliers invest significant time, energy, and overhead into kiln drying, surfacing, grading, packaging, and shipping lumber.

Those costs are passed directly to the customer.

By purchasing rough-cut green lumber, you're buying lumber closer to its natural state, eliminating many of those additional expenses.

Perfect for Woodworkers Who Plan Ahead

Many experienced woodworkers intentionally purchase green lumber because it allows them to:

  • Save substantial money on materials

  • Air dry lumber themselves

  • Build a custom lumber inventory

  • Select boards before they're surfaced

  • Control the drying process

  • Obtain thicker stock than commonly available in stores

If you have space to stack and sticker lumber, green lumber can be one of the most cost-effective ways to source hardwoods.

Locally Sawn Lumber

Common Questions About Green Lumber

Will Green Lumber Warp?

All lumber moves as it dries, including kiln-dried lumber.

Proper stacking, stickering, and storage dramatically reduce the risk of excessive warping. Many woodworkers prefer controlling the drying process themselves rather than purchasing lumber that has already been dried by someone else.

How Long Does It Take to Dry?

A common rule of thumb is approximately one year per inch of thickness when air drying, though climate, species, and storage conditions all affect drying time.

Is Green Lumber Strong?

Yes. Green lumber is routinely used in agricultural, structural, and outdoor applications. The appropriate moisture content depends on the intended use of the finished project.

Is It Worth Buying Green Lumber?

For many customers, absolutely.

If your project timeline allows for drying, or if you're purchasing lumber for future projects, green lumber can provide substantial savings while giving you access to larger and more unique boards.
