Frequently asked questions

  • Unlike lumber at big box stores, hardwood is sold in random widths by the board foot (BF). Board Foot is a volume measurement.

    Example:

    5/4 board x 5.25” x 96”

    (1.25 x 5.25 x 96) / 144 = 4.38 BF

  • The majority of wood in stock at Iverson Hardwoods is hit-and-missed milled. This means the two faces are planed to expose the grain but are not guaranteed to be perfectly flat. Hit-and-miss lumber is planed to 1/16” under nominal thickness (i.e. 4/4 = 15/16”, 6/4 = 1-7/16”). However, some of our stock is fully rough sawn.

  • Iverson Hardwoods can mill your boards upon request. The fee for processing your boards will depend on the quantity and complexity of your request.

  • We source wood from dozens of mills across the country to find the highest quality hardwood for our customers. All of our hardwood is kiln-dried.

  • We sell each board in its entirety. We can make a rough cut to a board upon request.

  • In order to control the quality of our hardwood, we do not take returns or exchanges. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

  • Our storefront comes with inherent risks. If you choose to bring in anyone younger than 18 years old, you are liable for their safety.
