Our Grade Lumber Products
Our sawmill produces a full selection of hardwood and softwood lumber, all sourced responsibly and processed with care. Below are the main types of grade lumber we offer:
- Walnut
Prized for its deep, rich color and fine grain. Walnut is perfect for high-end furniture, cabinetry, and interior finishes that demand a natural, luxurious look.
- White Oak
Known for its strength and durability. White Oak’s dense grain makes it ideal for flooring, barrels, and exterior projects that require resilience and longevity.
- Red Oak
A favorite among furniture makers for its warmth and strong grain character. Red Oak is versatile, taking stains beautifully and holding up well in both residential and commercial applications.
- Soft Maple
Lighter in color and weight than hard maple, soft maple works well for cabinet doors, trim, and painted furniture. It machines easily and delivers a smooth finish.
- Ash
Tough and flexible, Ash offers excellent shock resistance, making it perfect for tool handles, sports equipment, and custom furniture that needs both beauty and performance.
- Hickory
The strongest domestic hardwood. Hickory’s bold grain patterns and rustic tones are unmatched for flooring, furniture, and accents that stand out with natural character.

How Lumber Grading Works
Customers often ask what “grade lumber” really means. In simple terms, grading is the process of classifying boards based on their appearance, strength, and intended use. At Faith Timber Products, we follow recognized grading standards to ensure consistency and quality across all our species.
Hardwoods are typically graded for appearance, meaning fewer defects and cleaner grain patterns result in a higher grade. A “Select” or “FAS” board is ideal for furniture or finish work where looks matter. Lower grades, like No. 1 Common or No. 2 Common, are great for structural projects, rustic furniture, or where character and knots are desired.
Our millworkers visually inspect each board, measuring size, straightness, and visible flaws before assigning a grade. This ensures transparency and helps our customers choose the right product for their needs. Grading also affects pricing — higher-grade boards cost more because they yield more usable material per foot.
By purchasing graded lumber, you know exactly what you’re getting, avoiding surprises during your build. Whether you need flawless panels for fine woodworking or sturdy planks for barn restoration, we provide accurate grading so you can plan with confidence. Faith Timber Products takes pride in honest grading that matches our customers’ expectations every time.
