Okay for dimensional hardwood. They passed off a high moisture live edge as “regular” to the Bay Area , minimum 15% moisture. Board curled up not surprisingly. No offer of refund. Place used to be a lot better, I’m going elsewhere now. Contrary to the response, I was told that the live edge olivewood lumber was not kiln dried after I paid and inquired about its moisture content given the board felt cold to the touch.

5 stars for their varieties of hardwoods, 3 stars for their prices and phone help. If I'm after some zebrawood or purple heart or some other beautiful but expensive wood, I expect to pay premium prices. There's no better selection in the bay area. But you have to physically go to the store because you'll get inaccurate info on the phone; calling ahead doesn't help. And their high prices extend even to their plywood, so it makes them impractical as a one-stop shop. I love going to MacBeath, and on site help is excellent.
Very overpriced compared to other nearby lumber yards.
Stopped in today to pick up some 8/4 hardwood for an electric guitar build. The staff was super helpful, wide selection of hardwoods, and good prices. Will definitely be back again for the next project
Tally guys use lumber scaling rules that exaggerate the BF (by 30% for a board I was looking at today). For you nitpickers, the board was S2S, 1 3/4" thick, 8' long, exactly 4 inches wide (R2S). So we call it 8/4 material. But there is no convention for the width - this is hardwood. I got 5.33 BF. They said 7. (This is from doubling the read number due to it being 8/4, thereby doubling the error.) Board had a major flaw I said call it 5 BF how bout it. Manager said 6. Passed on the old don't-get-taken-if-you-can-avoid-it pri... read more
