If you are looking for a great selection of hardwood in a variety of sizes at fair prices I would highly suggest going to Cygnus Lumber. They have domestic and exotics and everything I have bought is quality. Greg is a woodworker as well, so he understands out needs when building quality products. He also has several live edge slabs and even sources reclaimed lumber at times. There are people selling slabs at low prices, but a lot of those are not dried. All of Greg’s lumber is properly kiln dried and stored correctly. Additionally, they have a large variety of sheet goods. Whether you are a professional or hobbyist I would suggest checking them out. Plus, as an added bonus you are greeted by the coolest shop dog during your visit.

What a great place to pick up that otherwise hard to find piece of lumber. I like buying my lumber and plywood from Greg, as he has some great quality wood to choose from. I build both cabinets and furniture and I have bought pine, poplar, red & white oak and cherry from him as well as 3 differant thicknesses of furniture grade birch plywood. I drive right past Home Depot, Lowe’s and a couple of smaller lumber yards on my way to buy from Greg, as his prices are fair and quality is always great. He has a great looking workshop as well with a lot of vintage machinery. Very friendly guy, go see him.

I’ve made the drive to the Cygnus Lumber twice now over closer lumber yards, First was actually on a lark as we also wanted to check out The Meat Shack at the same time. I returned to Cygnus as the “owner” went out of his way to be helpful, and the second time he was just as helpful. It was also cool that his pricing was competitive! Still have not made it to the meat shack when they are open, guess I’ll need to buy some more lumber eh?

Got plywood here and so much better quality than what i was getting at Home Depot. Will definitely be back for more! Thank you so much!

Greg is awesome! My Dad flew up from Florida to do a Father and Son project. Greg made our project a priority and provided expertise and slab flattening for us! I am not sure how many 5 star reviews are needed, but I wanted to say thank-you.

First time meeting Greg back in January, it was late in evening but he was still willing to walk me through picking the perfect Ambrosia for a mantle project. They were the perfect pieces for this project (see pictures)! Came back to pick out some Cherry wood for a bed project. As before he helped me pick out some stellar pieces! Again, it was the end of his day, yet still made time to put some pieces through his joiner/planner. Thanks Greg for all your help, you have a lifetime customer!
