  1. Timberline Tools (1402 W Center, Orem Utah) has a selection of hardwood lumber, including some exotics. While the selection isn’t nearly as extensive as McBeaths, they do have enough that I usually don’t have to go further North for my hardwood (I live South of Timberline and usually do small projects).

  2. I can’t thank you enough for providing this information. Obtaining an understanding of the hardwood situation in Utah is as important as knowing the retail locations.

    Thanks again.
