Worked Well for Farmhouse Table
Worked very well for my DIY farmhouse table. A few knots I had to avoid by flipping over and using the other side but overall happy with the quality and relatively straightness of each board.

    Quarter Sawn
    My carpenter used these on my ceiling and let’s just say I was impressed. Classic look and great fast shipping.

      The wood was well protected and arrived without any damage. It was flat and straight and looks great after it was stained. Whenever I want reliably nice quarter sawn oak Swaner is my go to. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was it was a week later than originally promised.

      Hi Ron,
      We are glad that you enjoy our white oak but we are sorry that UPS got delayed in shipment. We have had some rough weather so maybe that is what caused the delay. Thank you for the business and we appreciate you taking the time to review. Swaner

      Absolutely beautiful quarter sawn white oak. Finished with antique walnut stain polyurethane. Wish I could include a picture. I will definitely buy more.

      Good grain and smooth finish. Not cracked or twisted, only the usual slight warping expected in dimension lumber of this size.

      Awesome quality wood
      Very beautiful and s4s smoother on 4 sizeds white oak. The price was pretty good for the nomial length you get and kiln dried, only thing is if you have a planer id suggest running it though maybe 1 time i had a slight warp at the end of the boards but dont affect the straightness too much

      This is high-quality white oak lumber. If you're building a piece of furniture you want your grandchildren to will to their grandchildren, get this. We have several pieces of English oak furniture, and want a bookshelf that looks like its British-made "cousins." American white oak is fairly similar to English oak, but it's a bit hard to find where I live. Having a few boards sent via UPS made sense. This lumber costs enough to get you free shipping from Home Depot with the purchase...bonus!

      This is very expensive for wood that is not top quality. The grain and color were very uneven. When I tried to rip a few 1.5 inch strips the wood twisted.

      Jamie,
      Ripping rift/quarter sawn white oak is tricky. Next time order the 1.5'' wide S4S strips we offer and I am sure you will have better luck. Feel free to reach out to us at info@swanerhardwood.com for any other questions or concerns. Swaner

      Not a good deal.
      You get 4.12 BF in a pack of 2. That works out to $27.00 a BF. Quarter Sawn White Oak cost around $9.70 per BF at the mills. I'll plane my own thank you.

      Hi Buckboy,
      These are not priced by the board foot as it is S4S which has been defected and is sold by the piece. Swaner

          Quarter Sawn White Oak 1x6x8
          First of all, the packaging was excellent. Very well protected and the item was heavy and came from far. I ordered 4 boards (1x6x8) and everything was straight with a beautiful quarter sawn grain pattern. Thank you.

            One board came in fine. The other one had a crack all the way through and I wasn’t able to use for the finishing job. I emailed and texted with pictures but no reply. So I spent 152$ with shipping for one board.

            Well for the price of this lumber it should have been perfect ! Well it wasn't, one of the two pieces had largr knots on the side of the board with pieces missing . I had to cut this 5 1/2 " board down to 4 1/2" to get around the large knot. The other board hardley had any figure to it at all, I wouldn't call it quarter sawn if you ask me. I won't buy it again. No I don't recomend that you do either.

            This product was used for a staircase. One of the pieces was slightly warped, but a carpenter was able to make it work. It does look nice.

            Beautiful wood. Not 6" wide though, 5.5". Not a deal breaker. Still will work with my project. The ray flecking in the wood is gorgeous!
