You can't go wrong with these three types of hardwoods; Padauk, Purpleheart, and Mahogany!
Although these boards have been skipped dress to show colour and grain, they will still require some TLC and additional milling. If you would prefer to have the milling done for you - check out our 3/4" S4S Exotic Lumber Mix Pack.
What can you expect?
We will carefully handpick a high quality board of each wood type for you. We pay close attention to the wood species characteristics so we can send you a board that well represents each wood type.

Rough Cut Lumber
Who are they for? These are ideal for those who enjoy working with machinery or hand tools to mill their own boards.
We use this term to describe boards that require additional milling. Rough Cut Lumber have been run through the planer to show the grain however they have not been dressed. You will need to mill both faces and edges. Rough Cut Lumber are available in specific lengths with varying widths.
For example: 4/4 x 6" x 24”
You will receive a board that is just shy of an inch thick, with a width in the range of 5-6”, and is 24” long.
S4S Lumber
Who are they for? These are ideal for those who aren’t equipped with the necessary tools to flatten and straighten boards.
The term “surfaced” or "dressed" refers to a piece of wood that has been milled. To achieve the necessary dimensions, we select a larger board to work from. Both faces and edges are then surfaced so you can be assured that the board is flat and straight. These boards are available in specific sizes.
For example: 3/4” x 5-1/4” x 24”
Will order again
I never received any of the product that I paid a lot of money for from your company. I know that it isn't the company's fault because once the product leaves the building with a carrier it is out of the company's hands. But I did pay a lot of money for product that I had plans for and never received. That also leaves a distain in the back of my head and makes me never want to order product from your company ever again. And if there were an option for no stars I would have selected that.
Hi Allan,
Sorry to hear about the trouble with the carrier. Our customer service is always available to help navigate these issues. Please reach out at shipping@kjpselecthardwoods.com for assistance. We would like to make it right!
Not received
LOVE everything I've ordered! It's all great quality, nice and flat, great selection and perfect for laser projects. Highly recommend KJP! Please continue to carry Houston Acrylics as well- love their acrylic colours and supporting their small business as well. The pattern ply are fun and so nice too. Thanks KJP! This Canadian laser user is so happy to have found your shop.
I have ordered the craft 1/8" walnut plywood from KJP with great results, but this 'TruFlat' stuff is not real walnut. In any case, looks very different from the other laserable walnut mdf-veneered product I have from Trotec, as well as the other craft ply walnut from KJP- which is good for lasering, btw. Order a sample first. It is very flat tho, but lookswise its not what we were looking for... not going to get this again.
