New load of Ziricote, most 8/4-12/4 thick!


We just received about 100 BF of Ziricote lumber sizes mostly 2-3" thick x 4-8" wide x 36-72" long. 

Like most batches of Ziricote, there are some checks here and there but overall it is great mostly sap-free heartwood that could be used for a variety of projects.

Below are some images of a handful of pieces we surfaced to clean up the faces for the images (all are currently coated in wax to protect them)

Give us a call if you have any questions about this new stock.

    Two massive Bocote logs in stock!


    Bocote is typically a fairly small tree. Most logs will measure roughly 6-10" square x 36-48" in length.

    Here are two huge logs that just came up from our sawmill in Mexico. 

    Look at the size of these pieces, very rare!

    We have placed an "average-sized" bocote log in front of the two large ones to show their size.

    Looking at the ends really show the size difference between normal logs and these two rarities.

    The largest one measures roughly 13.5" x 11.5" x 61"!

    Great tight figure on this one!

    The "smaller" of the two is still pretty impressive!

    10.75" x 15" x 38"!

    Feel free to give us a call if you have any other questions regarding these two beauties-

    What do you see in these pieces of wood?!


    Bookmatched sets of lumber are always fun to look at when set side by side.

    Maybe it's just us but we are seeing some interesting faces looking back at us in the Bocote sets pictured below!

    What do you think?
