Almquist Lumber

On top of rude workers this place is dishonest. I went in there and asked for birch ply and they sold me masonite that was birch faced. total crap. Big fat redhead didn’t tell me what I was getting and sold me what I did not ask for. When I asked for an 8 by 4 he said, «a 4 by 8?». really? total ass hat. Go to the mill yard. even if they’re rude, at least they’re not dishonest.

Amazing lumber selections at fair prices. Santa rosa for example had more expensive prices on their lumber.
The Staff all know what they’re talking about and if you take the time to listen you may just learn something. I’ve spent a lot of money there for my furniture making business and I’ll continue to do so. There is no better place when I think of a specialty lumber yard. They also have great local hardwoods. Hands off the madrone. That’s mine!!!
They also carry decent general construction lumber too and have many tools and finishing products that you can’t find elsewhere locally.

I have not been here for a while but for the serious wood worker this place is paradise. They have knowledgeable friendly staff, professional tools and an amazing variety of lumber.
Included is nearly anything you might need to build or repair a wooden boat.
One time I dropped in on a boat building class and was able to try out a new electric sander that was outstanding. I cannot remember the brand but I do recall it was top of the line.
The fact that they allowed me to participate in a class that had been going on for months was amazing enough but also accepting me and encouraging may participation was extrordinary.
Check them out. You will be amazed.
Just remembered the sander brand was Festool – as I said, top of the line tools.

Cool lumber yard and store. At first I was frustrated by the lack of service but once you have spent $ 5000 there they will start to remember who you are. Amazing selection of moldings, hardwoods, and exotic lumber that you cannot find anywhere else around here. There is also a misconception in the community that their prices are high — this is not always true and often I have found that they have lower prices than other lumber yards in the area. I almost didn’t bother to check out their hardwood flooring because I figured it would be too expensive — I was shocked to find out how reasonable the prices were for the Mullican hardwood floors and for the quality of the product, I feel that nothing else can come close. I also highly recommend their Rodda paints — why use two coats of cheap paints when you could use one coat of a really good paint? Most people have not heard of this brand, however, I have used it on bare wood and also the deck paint and it if far superior to anything else I have used — best paint secret I know!

haha no reviews yet because woodworkers dont go on computers! I frequent this place and most often find the staff helpful and freindly. Great selection of local and exotic woods to peruse and a store with specialty woodworking products. If you like grain this is your spot
