Milwaukee Woodworks - Figured Woods and Hardwood Lumber

Milwaukee Woodworks is an internet based specialty hardwood lumber company. If you work with wood, I would like to meet you!

Wide boards, figured wood, urban-sourced lumber, book-matched sets, whole log sets are a few of our specialties. Hobbyist, professional furniture maker, turners, artists and sawyers. Milwaukee Woodworks is committed to locating and offering nicely figured wood for your woodworking projects. Whether you're looking for just the right piece of Quartersawn Oak for a Craftsman-style project, or beautif

ul curly maple for drawer fronts on a new desk you're building, I can help you complete your woodworking projects with excellent quality hardwoods. Our wood is sourced from an extended family of independent and family owned sawmills, primarily in the Upper Midwest. In many cases, the wood comes from trees harvested from the same land or area where the sawmill is located, adding a community connection to the wood we sell. We've also developed a local network devoted to urban log recovery projects, which has produced some spectacular lumber! Urban sourced lumber is growing in popularity and is an underutilized resource in many communities. To learn more about our urban recovery projects or lumber available check out our website.

Unloaded kilns over the weekend and sharing some pics.

First out was an exceptional batch of 4/4 Ash 8”-14” wide. At $3bf you can’t go wrong. I also still have a sizeable batch of smaller widths 4”- 8”, also very clean.

Next was a batch of 4/4 Cherry. Mix of common and select boards in widths to 12”.

Last but not least was a new batch of walnut. 4/4, 5/4, and 6/4. Shorts as well as full length boards and an assortment of live edge pieces. It will go fast. It was selling while it was being unloaded.

Thanks for looking

Stocking the shelves today with about 1,000bf of super clean 4/4 and 5/4 hard maple. Also putting away a 700bf batch of 4/4 cherry. I’ll be here all day!

Sometimes putting away lumber just takes longer because you get caught up in looking at every board.

Last night I put away some very nice 4/4 ash and some more maple. But what impressed me most was some new curly maple and a new batch of cherry.

The curly maple is very heavy figure and almost every piece is amazing. There are 4/4 and 5/4 thicknesses and around 400bf to choose from.

The new batch of cherry is exceptionally clear and the widths are mostly 8”-11” wide. There is around 600bf to choose from.

I’ll be around most of today and tomorrow if you’d like to check out all the new stock.

Last night I was able to unload a kiln load of 8/4 White Oak lumber and slabs. Some of the lumber is flat sawn and some is quartersawn. Flat sawn is $6bf and Quartersawn is $7bf while it lasts.

The live edge slabs are between 14” and 22” wide. They need to be cleaned up a bit to show off the grain better but have very nice character and would make some nice tables. Our live edge slabs are affordably priced at $5bf-$7bf so even the largest slabs in this bunch won’t break the bank.

While making room for the White Oak I ran across a nice batch of 8/4 Hickory that is pretty nice stock. Enough stock to make a great bench top or a dining room table along with some shorter 4’ long pieces that would make some benches or other crafts. At $4bf you can’t go wrong.

And if you’re into rustic material we have some red oak with bug holes, some rustic hickory and rustic walnut. If you can use it I’ll make you a great deal.

Just finished putting away fresh loads of kiln dried lumber. Approximately 1,000bf of white 4/4 Hard Maple and around 500bf of 4/4 Ash. We also found about 50-60bf of some crazy 4/4 Curly Hickory.

Kilns are full and we’ll have some more great material ready in a few weeks including 8/4 White Oak (flat and QS) as well as some great 4/4 Cherry in 10’ lengths and some more nicely figured 4/4 Birdseye Maple.

11/05/2023

Just added more Walnut and Quartersawn White Oak today.

Nice wide 6/4 and 8/4 Walnut 12”-16” wide.

4/4 Quartersawn White Oak with excellent figure. 4’ to 10’ lengths and 4”-10” wide. Around 300bf in this batch.
