What to know before you buy

Hardwood is sold by the board foot, not by the fixed stick. Bring a cut list if you have one so we can help estimate yield and waste. Ask about moisture content — especially important in Central Texas heat and in air-conditioned homes. If the milling letters (S2S, S4S) are new, start with the FAQs below before you shop the boards.

What's the best wood to build a table?

For dining tables, walnut, oak, maple, and cherry are popular for good reason — they machine well, take finish cleanly, and look right in a home. “Best” depends on budget, look, and how the table will be used. We help you match species to design and finish plan when you’re standing in front of the boards, not from a ranking list alone.

How thick should a table top be?

Most dining table tops finish around 1" to 1-1/2". Thicker tops add visual heft and suit heavier table designs; thinner tops are possible when the design and support allow. Buy rough stock thick enough to hit your finished target after flattening and milling — often 5/4, 6/4, or 8/4, depending on the target — and we can walk the tradeoffs in person.

Finished top about 1 to 1.5 inches; buy thicker rough stock to get there Finished dining top · typical range ~1" finished ~1½" finished Buy rough thicker than the finished target (e.g. 5/4, 6/4, or 8/4) so jointing and planing still leave the size you want
Start from finished thickness, then choose a rough quarter that can get you there after milling.

What finish holds up on a kitchen table?

Film finishes like polyurethane or a hardwax oil over properly prepared wood hold up well for daily use. Prep and application matter as much as the brand. We stock finishes and can recommend a system based on how the table will be used — kids, hot pans, outdoor adjacent rooms, and so on.
