Finding the best hardwood at the right price is always a search. And while hardwood lumber in New Hampshire is generally easy to find, narrowing in on the right species and exotic woods can take a bit more digging.
To help your search you’ll find:
- Price list links when published
- Key services like surfacing (eg. S3S)
- Pick-up vs. delivery
Lastly, with the price of hardwoods even a few dozen board feet can be worth a 1-2 hour drive. And who knows, maybe you’ll find a hardwood for turning, reclaimed lumber or even urban timber for your next project.

Featured New Hampshire Wood
While not as common in furniture or cabinetry due to its size, the Paper Birch is the state tree of New Hampshire.
But, an excellent hardwood that thrives locally and is available in figured cuts is Maple. Few woods offer the unique grain pattern of curly or birds eye Maple.
