Introducing Great Spirit Hardwoods | Dependable quality hardwood lumber at fair price points in the Chicago area... Finally.

As furniture makers and designers with years of experience in wood working, we came to the conclusion that there was a void when it came to a hardwood source in the greater Chicago area that offered fair pricing and dependable quality in kiln dried, select and better hardwood lumber. We have experience in years past with twisted, "wet" and warped boards, lumber that is excessively surfaced to allow zero room for error and of course price gouging on hardwoods that shouldn't cost a fortune. To counter the hardwood lumber quality and pricing issues in the Chicago area, we have developed national sources of hardwood lumber that are priced fairly and is of the highest quality. Our buying power through our wood store and furniture making business has allowed us to share savings with local crafts persons, wood workers cabinet makers and fellow furniture makers. We are a small Mom and Pop operation, but we can deliver quality at a fair price point from a handful of pen blanks, to a small book-matched set for a table top to hundreds of board feet, priced fairly without "wide board up-charges".

A bit about our hardwood lumber, rescued slabs and our custom table tops: Our hardwood lumber, custom table tops and slabs in Cherry, African Mahogany, Sapele, Walnut, Ash, Hickory, Maple and other species are guaranteed to make your next woodworking project more profitable through both our fair pricing and quality of materials. We stock only the finest hardwoods, often hand selected and always sorted for grain and color quality and consistency. We specialize in live edge Black Walnut that is taken and carefully kiln dried from large storm downed and fallen trees which provides wide boards of superior grain, texture and color.

Thicknessing options, machining, wide belt sanding to make your job or hobby easier: Our hardwoods offer our customers options instead of limitations in that most of our hardwoods are rough sawn with some being skip planed but are always over sized thickness wise, which allows you to flatten and machine it without the worry of wasting a valuable board. Our hardwoods are flat enough to joint and surface with room to spare in whatever nominal thickness is relevant. That said, we also offer planing to 26" wide and finish sanding via our wide belt sander to 43". We only offer services on hardwoods purchased from Great Spirit Hardwoods. Our solid wood tables and tops with our without a base or legs.
