This grade has plenty of figure, but the eye may be thinner in frequency or have patches in the face with no eyes. This is almost all white with an occasional piece of heartwood. This stock is $14 a bdft

 

Rustic

This grade has lots of heart wood and other board inperfections. most pieces will have great figure but it may be clumped or heavier on one end of the board that the other. This stock is $10 a bdft

All of our inventory is sold by the board foot:

When Ordering The quantity is by the Board Foot. A bdft is 144 cubic inches so to calculate you would take the width x length x thickness divided by 144. For example, a 4/4 x6"x8' would be 1"x6"x96"/144=4bdft

The Alexander Brothers built me a beautiful bathroom vanity using reclaimed wood I brought them. They hand turned the knobs and took care with book matching the wood where possible. I've also bought lumber from them for building kitchen cabinet fronts for a fair price. Shea is always friendly, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend checking with them for nice wood and furniture projects!

Full disclosure, I worked with Drew and Shea, but I have been a fan of this family business since it went full-time. I bought my wife a beautiful green leather purse, and she carries it daily. We have a cutting board that we love, and I hope to someday be able to have Shea build me my dream bookcase/entertainment center. These guys inspire me to find ways to create beautiful things and to make the world better any way I can.

We are one of the lucky ones to just be a hop and skip down the road from the Alexander Brothers when we need them, but even if we weren't close we'd choose them again and again. We have had our fair share of lumber, woodworking and other craftsman's needs over the last 10 years and we were lucky to have such a qualified shop right down the road. Their commitment to their craft, their willingness to lend a hand or even share their knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I can't recommend them more. Sharing a photo of one of the doors we've had made by them as just an example of their beautiful work.
