We stock Honey Locust at our headquarters in Spring, TX, so if you are picking up locally, you are welcome to get as little or as much as you need. If, however, you need your lumber shipped, we require a minimum purchase of 250BF. Please select from the proper hardness and thickness that you need. (Hard Ambrosia Maple is harder to find - and the lumber itself is stronger - hence the price difference.)

Freight rates for dimensional lumber must be calculated (on our end) before we are able to process your order, and this will vary, depending on the amount of lumber you need, distance, etc. Therefore, before placing an order for full length dimensional lumber, we ask that you please send us a message so that we can generate a quote for you.
