People often ask me why I buy rough lumber. The reason is the beauty and variety available. I jointed and planed some Spanish Cedar this morning for a project, beautiful wood that I bought for a fair price at Ghent. For choices, quality, and helpful people out in the yard and in the office I like Ghent.

Good place for serious Woodworkers to buy hardwoods. Service and accommodation is amazing. They respect Woodworkers rather than treating them like a nuisance.

Great place to get lumber with no middle man. Staff was amazing in helping and finding what we were looking for. Will go there before even thinking of the big box stores. Quality was beyond what we were expecting.
