Clear Lumber Clear lumber – free of knots and other “defects” continues to be increasingly more expensive and harder to source. Remember, knots are simply where branches grew out of the trunk. These boards generally require larger diameter logs where more wood fiber allows wood to be graded out for a higher grade. Larger logs come from larger trees – those that have grown for a long time. These are rare and/or are under strict environmental regulations. There are still opportunities based on the actual logs run through the mills. Front Range Lumber made a great acquisition of high quality 4x4, 2x4 and 2x6 Douglas Fir boards. While not literally clear or perfect, these boards are simply incredibly great quality at a very attractive price. Stop in / Give us a call / Visit our website: LAKEWOOD: 1741 S.

All lumber lengths are NOT priced proportionately. Due to a wide range of factors including mill outputs and individual length popularities; lumber is rarely priced “proportionately” by length. In other words, a 10’ board generally will NOT be half of a 20’ board. If your needs are flexible or you are cutting to much shorter lengths, we suggest you shop around the individual prices by length to determine the lowest cost per foot. Commonly, you’ll find 14’ pieces being among the least expensive. Need more guidance? LAKEWOOD: 1741 S. Wadsworth Blvd. FORT LUPTON: 805 14th Street
