Alder is harvested from the Pacific Northwest. The Alder tree is a relatively small tree thus yielding primarily 8’-10’ lengths with a small percentage of 6’-7’ lengths included. Alder is a light pinkish-brown in color. The color is very consistent throughout the board. There is very little difference between the heartwood and sapwood. Alder is a very soft textured hardwood, can be easily dented with the thumbnail. Alder is a relatively easy wood to work with, machines well, and takes a finish well. Alder has been used as a substitute for Cherry, Walnut, and Birch. The Knotty Alder has become very popular in the past year in the kitchen cabinet business, primarily for the southwestern look.

                                           ANIGRE

1" RW&L FAS&1F QUARTERED ANIGRE KD. RGH. 

Anigre is harvested from Africa. Anigre has a yellowish-white to pale brown, sometimes with a pinkish tint, color. Anigre is produced in both plain sawn and quarter sawn lumber. The quarter sawn seems to be the most popular and gives the most pleasing appearance. Schaller Hardwood keeps a small inventory of 1" stock on hand, however additional stock is normally readily available from a number of our valued importers. Anigre is a difficult wood to work with because of its siliceous content, which makes it abrasive to cutting tools.

3"X3"X36" ASH TURNING SQUARES

The Ash stocked by Schaller Hardwood Lumber Company is harvested from the Ohio River Valley Region. We have found this Ash lumber to have a medium texture, not nearly as soft as the Ash from the deep South, nor nearly as hard as the Ash from the Northern Regions. The Ash stocked by Schaller Hardwood has a nice white color, containing a small percentage of brown heartwood. Ash is available in lengths ranging from 4’ to 16’ in length. A particularly good buy in Ash is the #1 common 4’-6’ lengths. This stock contains a very high percentage of clear stock. Ash is an open-grained hardwood, which works very well and is easily finished. Due to its white color Ash can be used for many of the white wash finishes and glazes.

2" RW&L SEL. &BTR. NORTHERN YELLOW BIRCH KD. RGH.

The Northern Yellow Birch is harvested from the northern tier of mid-western states, the northeastern states and Canada. The majority of stock inventoried by Schaller Hardwood comes out of Canada. Yellow Birch has a distinctive heartwood and sapwood. The sapwood varies in color from a white to manila color depending on the time of year the stock was cut and the region from which the stock originated. The heartwood of the Yellow Birch is a tan to reddish color. Stock can be selected for both heartwood and sapwood. Yellow Birch contains lengths from 4’ to 16’, however in recent years the shorter lengths make up the vast majority of production. Yellow Birch is a closed grain wood that has a grain pattern that varies widely. The grain may often reverse giving the lumber a wavy or curly appearance. This grain reversal may also cause some grain tear out when machining. Yellow Birch is used extensively in architectural millwork, store fixtures, and kitchen cabinets. Yellow Birch finishes rather well and paints well with very little absorption of paint.

BUBINGA (AFRICAN ROSEWOOD)

1" RW&L SEL.&BTR. BUBINGA

2" RW&L SEL.&BTR. BUBINGA 

Bubinga is medium red-brown with lighter red to purple veining. Grain is straight to interlocked. It's texture moderately coarse but even. Bubinga wood is primarily used as a veneer for cabinetwork, furniture, and paneling. Bubinga works easily with hand or power tools and stains easily and can be brought to an excellent finish.

                                                                                                               BUTTERNUT

1" RW&L SEL.&BTR. BUTTERNUT KD. RGH.

1" RW&L #1 COMMON BUTTERNUT KD. RGH.

Butternut is harvested from the northern mid-western states. Butternut is also known as White Walnut. The lumber has a grain pattern very similar to Walnut. There is very little distinction between the heartwood and sapwood with the color ranging from a light tan color to a light brown shaded color. The lumber gives off a satiny appearance when finished. The lumber is very easy to work with hand tools and is highly sought after by wood carvers. The availability of high quality lumber is limited. Butternut is graded on the same grading rules as Walnut. Butternut is primarily available in short lengths of 6’-10’, very little long stock is available. Butternut is used in high-end architectural millwork and high-end kitchen cabinetry.

AROMATIC RED CEDAR

1" RW&L #1 COMMON & BTR. AROMATIC RED CEDAR KD. RGH.

The Aromatic Red Cedar stocked by Schaller Hardwood Lumber Company is primarily harvested off the Southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas border. Aromatic Red Cedar has a red to light red color with white wood interspersed throughout. All Aromatic Red Cedar is extremely knotty due to the growth pattern of the tree. The lumber can be brittle when dried, so care must be taken in the drying process to not over dry the lumber. Aromatic Red Cedar has a pleasant distinct odor, which is said to repel insects. The red wood of the Aromatic Cedar has excellent decay resistance as evidenced by the use of Red Cedar in the old fence posts seen throughout the Ozarks. Aromatic Red Cedar is used in production of Cedar storage chests, closet linings and novelties.

SPANISH CEDAR

1" RW&L FAS&1F SPANISH CEDAR KD. RGH.

Spanish Cedar is harvested in Central America and South America. Most of the lumber inventoried by Schaller Hardwood is harvested in Brazil. The lumber has a rather uniform light red color with a grain similar to that of Mahogany. In recent years Spanish Cedar has become very popular for use in cigar humidors.

1 ½" RW&L SEL.&BTR. PN. CHERRY KD. RGH.

2" RW&L SEL.&BTR. PN. CHERRY KD. RGH.

The PN. Cherry stocked by Schaller Hardwood is procured from only three mills which meet the stringent quality requirements of Schaller Hardwood. Pennsylvania Cherry is the finest Cherry available in the world due to the unique growing environment. The Cherry from the Pennsylvania region has a pink to light pink heartwood with very little if any gum pockets. The sapwood is a white color, somewhat distinct from the heartwood. In the grading of Cherry lumber there are no requirements as to the percentage of heartwood and sapwood. Cherry has become extremely popular over the past couple years and has shown a marked increase in cost. Along with the increase in demand for fine cherry lumber we have seen a steady erosion in the quality of lumber available. This has been caused by the use of the high quality logs for veneering leaving a lesser quality log available for sawing into lumber. Another factor in the increase in cost and decrease in quality has been the restrictions placed on logging in the Allegheny National Forest. Cherry is recognized as one of the finest working hardwoods available. Cherry is used in fine architectural millwork, upper-end kitchen cabinetry, and fine quality furniture. The Pennsylvania Cherry does the best job of matching Cherry plywood in color.

YELLOW CYPRESS

1 ½" RW&L SEL.&BTR. CYPRESS KD. RGH.

2" RW&L SEL.&BTR. CYPRESS KD. RGH.

Although Cypress is a softwood (conifer), it has traditionally been grouped with the hardwoods. Cypress is graded by the rules of the National Hardwood Lumber Association. The reasoning behind this seems to be the fact that Cypress tends to grow in areas along with hardwoods and is harvested at the same time. The Cypress stocked by Schaller Hardwood, is primarily harvested from the swampy areas of Western Tennessee, Eastern Arkansas, and Southeast Missouri. The popularity of Cypress is based on its natural decay resistance. Cypress can be used for many of the same products as Western Red Cedar and Redwood. Cypress is often used in doors, sash, and other millwork. Cypress can be easily painted and has excellent paint retention. The lumber has a distinct pronounced grain pattern, with a yellowish-red color. Pecky Cypress is Cypress that has been attacked by a fungus resulting in the pecks or pockets in the lumber. Pecky Cypress is often used where a rustic or textured look is desired.

2" RW&L C&BTR. FLAT SAWN DOUGLAS FIR KD. RGH.

2" RW&L C&BTR. VERTICAL GRAIN DOUGLAS FIR KD. RGH.

Douglas Fir's light rosy color is set off by its remarkably straight and handsome grain pattern. Douglas Fir is widely available in the appearance grades. Douglas Fir will "redden" over time when exposed to light. Their tough fiber make it difficult to work with hand tools. However, it will respond admirably to sharp power tools and machine to an exceptionally smooth, glossy surface. Douglas Fir will paint easily and can hold all types of stains and finishes.

AFRICAN MAHOGANY

1" RW&L FAS&1F AFRICAN MAHOGANY KD. RGH.

1" RW&L FAS&1F QUARTERSAWN AFRICAN MAHOGANY RGH.

2" RW&L FAS&1F AFRICAN MAHOGANY KD. RGH.

African Mahogany as the name suggests is harvested out of Africa. The lumber varies in color from a light pink to reddish-brown to a tannish-brown color. The lumber stocked by Schaller Hardwood contains great lengths and widths. African Mahogany is virtually clear, so the waste factor when using this wood is rather small. African Mahogany tends to have a fairly coarse grain due to the large size of its pores. African Mahogany machines well, with good sharp tooling and sands to a very smooth finish. African Mahogany is also available in a ribbon stripe grain. When the lumber is ribbon striped it is a bit harder to work with due to the grain reversal. African Mahogany seems to be increasing in use as we see a movement to the darker, richer colored woods. African Mahogany is used in many architectural millwork jobs, upper-end cabinetry, and high-end millwork in residences.

The Honduras Mahogany stocked by Schaller Hardwood is primarily harvested from Brazil. The Honduras Mahogany may also be known as Tropical American Mahogany. Honduras Mahogany contains excellent widths and lengths. The lumber stocked by Schaller Hardwood is virtually clear, very few defects. The grain pattern differs widely in Honduras Mahogany. The Pattern Grade stock is selected for a good fine textured straight grain for use in the pattern making industry. The color varies from a light reddish to yellowish-brown to a rich dark red color. Honduras Mahogany works very well with both power and hand tools. The lumber is very durable and decay resistant. Honduras Mahogany is also a very stable wood. Honduras Mahogany takes a stain and finish very well. The lumber is used in high-end architectural millwork, upper-end kitchen cabinetry, high-end furniture, pattern making, and exterior uses, such as decks.

1" RW&L FAS&1F PLAIN SAWN MAKORE KD.

Hard Maple is harvested from throughout the Eastern United States and Canada. The inventory stocked by Schaller Hardwood is harvested from the Northern Midwest and Canada. Schaller Hardwood has found this stock to have the best color, fewest mineral streaks and best texture. Over the past several years the popularity of selected white Hard Maple has soared. The stock cut in the winter months from Canada and the Northern Midwest has consistently had the best bright white color. The stock from the Mid-Eastern States seems to have more of a manila color, as does the stock cut in the north during the warm weather. Hard Maple has white to light cream sapwood with a light pink to light reddish-brown heartwood. The lumber is very heavy and hard with a good uniform texture. Hard Maple finishes well and is excellent for painting. Hard Maple is used in the manufacture of many products, including gym floors, pin planks on pianos, bowling pins, bowling alley lanes, school furniture, kitchen cabinetry, high-end architectural millwork, paint grade cabinets, and paint grade mouldings.

The Appalachian Red Oak stocked by Schaller Hardwood is harvested from many different regions of the Appalachians dependant on the thickness of the lumber. The 1" Red Oak which is purchased green and brought into our kilns for drying is purchased from Southern Illinois, Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, and Western Tennessee. The 1 ½", 1 ¾", and 2" stock is purchased kiln-dried from mills in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Schaller Hardwood has found the thicker stock from this area to have a better texture, tighter grain pattern, and better color than lumber harvested further south. Red Oak is probably the most commercially important lumber in the United States due to its abundant quantity and reasonable cost. Red Oak has developed a reputation as a high quality material and products produced of Red Oak often carry this distinction. Many are referred to as heirloom quality. Red Oak is a open grain hardwood with a pleasing grain pattern. The heartwood varies in color from a wheat color to light pink to a reddish brown color. The sapwood is usually a manila color varying to light gray to a bluish gray color. Red Oak is one of the more difficult woods to dry properly. The lumber is highly prone to season check and if dried at too rapid a pace will develop internal defects often referred to as honey-comb. One of the reasons for the large increase in cost per board foot on the thicker stock is the increased drying time. 1" Red Oak on average requires approximately 90-100 days of drying from green to a kiln-dried product. 2" Red Oak on average requires approximately 1 year of drying from green to a kiln-dried product. Red Oak takes a finish very well and machines well. The majority of Red Oak sold by Schaller Hardwood is used in the manufacture of kitchen cabinets, antique reproductions, cabinet doors, architectural millwork, and residential millwork.

2" RW&L FAS&1F APPALACHIAN WHITE OAK KD. RGH.

The Appalachian White Oak stocked by Schaller Hardwood is primarily harvested from Eastern Kentucky. We have found this White Oak to have the best combination of color and length. White Oak has a white to light tan sapwood with a tan to brown colored heartwood. One of the interesting features of White Oak is that its pores contain a substance called tyloses, which prevents water from seeping through the wood. In a straight or rift grain piece of Red Oak you can actually suck water through the pores, whereas a straight or rift grain piece of White Oak will not allow water to pass through. Another factor, which differentiates White Oak from Red Oak is the high amount of tannic acid contained in White Oak. The tannic acid in White Oak protects the wood from fungi and insects. White Oak is used in the manufacture of wine and whiskey barrels, kitchen cabinetry, fine furniture, and architectural millwork. White Oak offers a distinct advantage over Red Oak by not containing the pink tones when a white wash finish is being applied. White Oak machines well and finishes well.

Pecan and Hickory lumber are grouped together by the National Hardwood Lumber Association. The Association makes no distinction between these two species. Pecan/Hickory that is stocked by Schaller Hardwood is harvested from the Ohio River Valley region. Pecan/Hickory lumber has a white to cream-colored sapwood with a light tan to dark brown heartwood. Some of the lumber contains an abundance of bird peck, which gives the lumber a rustic appearance. When purchasing Pecan/Hickory or when selling a Pecan/Hickory job the customer must be made aware of the multiple appearances of the lumber. At Schaller Hardwood we carry a large inventory of Pecan/Hickory enabling us to select for our customers the lumber that best suits their appearance needs. Hickory/Pecan deviates from the standard NHLA rules on FAS&1F lumber width minimums. FAS&1F Pecan/Hickory can go down to 4" in width . Pecan/Hickory is a very dense, hard lumber that machines well with proper tooling and finishes well. The lumber is used in the manufacture of kitchen cabinetry, fine furniture, and a limited amount of architectural millwork.

Sugar Pine ranges in color from a white color in the sapwood to a manila color in the heartwood. There is very little distinction between the heartwood and sapwood. Sugar Pine lumber has a great deal of decay resistance and is suitable for many exterior uses. Sugar Pine has a very fine grain with a uniform soft texture. Sugar Pine lends itself very well to working with hand tools and is one of the best if not the best carving woods. Sugar Pine is most commonly used in the manufacture of doors, sash, architectural millwork, pattern making, and wood carving.

YELLOW PINE

1" RW&L FAS&1F YELLOW PINE KD. S2S 15/16"

1" RW&L #1 COMMON YELLOW PINE KD. S2S 15/16"

The Yellow Pine stocked by Schaller Hardwood is only harvested out of Missouri. The Yellow Pine from this area is of a slow growth. The Yellow Pine lumber stocked by Schaller Hardwood is harvested by a select few of the smaller mills. These mills only saw the Yellow Pine during the winter months so as to lessen the possibility of blue stain in the lumber. We at Schaller Hardwood Lumber grade this lumber just as we would the Red Oak lumber brought into us. We dip the lumber upon arrival at our yard, grade it, place on sticks for drying and then kiln dry just as we would a hardwood. The drying schedule we use on the Yellow Pine is a very conservative schedule and we condition the lumber at the end of the schedule. By adhering to these drying schedules we eliminate the extreme stress that is often found in other Yellow Pine. The Yellow Pine stocked by Schaller Hardwood is very easy to work with and finishes well. This is one of the more underutilized species we stock.

The Poplar stocked by Schaller Hardwood is harvested from the Ohio River Valley region. The Poplar cut in this region offers the best combination of length and width, along with a good medium texture. Poplar has a white to cream colored sapwood, while the heartwood varies in color from a very light green to purple or even black. The grain pattern of Poplar is rather non-descript. Poplar often yields lumber with exceptional length and width. Poplar is one of the more versatile hardwoods. It is most commonly used as a paint grade material, however it can often be used as a Cherry, Walnut, or Birch substitute depending on the color and finish used. Poplar is very easy to work with and does take a finish well. Poplar is used in the manufacture of paint grade cabinetry, paint grade mouldings, furniture, and architectural millwork.

Heartwood ranges in color from that of medium to a dark reddish- or purplish-brown. Sapwood is whitish or pale yellow, distinct. Fine texture and interlocked grain produces a narrow and uniform stripe pattern on quartered surfaces. It has a cedar-like scent when cut.The commercially important wood is reminiscent of mahogany, with a distinctive figure, typically applied where figure is important. It is sought after as flooring and cabinetry for its durability and beautiful graining.

Sassafras grows in most of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Most people have never seen a Sassafras tree large enough to be cut into lumber, and remember the tree mostly because its roots are used in the making of Sassafras tea. The Sassafras stocked by Schaller Hardwood is primarily harvested from the Ohio River Valley, mostly out of the state of Indiana. Sassafras is a very attractive wood with little distinction between its heartwood and sapwood. Sassafras ranges in color from a very light tan to brown color. The grain resembles that of Ash. Sassafras is one of the few open grain hardwoods to have nice soft texture. The lumber when machined or sanded has a very pleasant, distinct odor. The supply of Sassafras has limited its use.

The Teak lumber stocked by Schaller Hardwood is plantation grown in Burma. The lumber varies in color from a yellowish-brown to dark brown color. The lumber is hard and oily. Teak is a bit difficult to work with because of it silica content and its oiliness. Teak lumber is extremely decay resistant and lends itself well to exterior uses. The most common uses for Teak lumber are ship decking, patio furniture, garden furniture, fine architectural millwork, upper end cabinetry, and fine furniture.

Walnut is found throughout the United States, but its commercial harvesting range is confined to the Midwestern States. The Walnut stocked by Schaller Hardwood is primarily harvested from Missouri, Iowa, and Indiana. Walnut has been viewed as the ultimate hardwood in the past. Anything made of Walnut has the connotation of being of the highest quality. The sapwood in Walnut is a white to very light gray color, while the heartwood varies from a light brown to almost black color. The Walnut stocked by Schaller Hardwood is steamed immediately after being cut. The steaming process is used in Walnut production to darken the sapwood and lessen the distinction between the heartwood and sapwood. Walnut is graded under a special set of rules developed by the National Hardwood Lumber Association. These rules take into consideration the uniqueness and availability of the resource. Walnut is used in the manufacture of architectural millwork, fine furniture, upper end cabinetry, and gunstocks.

ZEBRAWOOD

Zebrawood is harvested out of West Africa. Zebrawood has a very distinctive grain pattern of alternating stripes of yellowish tan and dark brown color, hence its name. Zebrawood is relatively difficult to work with because of its coarse grain and texture. The lumber is also hard and heavy. Zebrawood is most often used for that "different look" be it in furniture, paneling or accent pieces.
