Figured Hardwood Lumber

Explore our premium hardwood selection with three distinctive grades: AAAA (4A), AAAAAA (5A), and Musical. At Northwest Timbers, we’ve developed our own grading system, prioritizing intensity of figure, clarity, and grain in the absence of industry standards for figure grading. Our meticulous grading process takes place after the material is dried and surfaced, ensuring the highest quality.

Our AAAA grade, known as “furniture grade,” features Maple and Myrtlewood with light figure throughout or sporadically across the board. AAAA Walnut and E. Cherry may showcase sap wood and tight knots, maintaining a figure-free consistency in some areas.

Step up to our AAAAAA grade, a clear and premium option free from surface and end checking, splits, and cracks. This grade may exhibit natural defects such as burl eyes or clusters, bird pecks, and pin knots. With a swinging range, you can expect intense deep figure with aesthetically pleasing placements on the board, specializing in curly, quilted, burled, and spalted figures.

Experience the excellence of our exclusive grading system, delivering top-notch hardwoods for your creative endeavors. Choose Northwest Timbers for unparalleled quality and unique figure options.
