ISO: Hardwood Lumber 13 Feet or Longer—Maple, Ash, Walnut or Oak

WANTED: 13′+ Hardwood Lumber — Maple, Ash, Walnut or Oak

I’m building a shuffleboard table and looking to buy maple, ash, walnut, or oak within a 1–2 hour drive of Bluffton, SC.

Boards must be at least 13 feet long. Slightly longer is welcome for trimming. No shorter boards.

Open to different thicknesses. Here’s approximately what I need if the boards are 8 inches wide and 13 feet long:

Thickness Approximate quantity
8/4 — 2″ rough 7–8 boards
7/4 — 1¾″ rough 8–9 boards
6/4 — 1½″ rough 9–10 boards
5/4 — 1¼″ rough 11–12 boards
4/4 — 1″ rough 14–16 boards

Different widths work too—send the dimensions and available quantity. Looking for enough usable lumber in one species to complete the top.

Rough-sawn and cosmetically blemished lumber is fine! It doesn’t need to be pretty or surfaced. Dry, structurally sound lumber with enough usable wood to mill into full-length strips is what matters.

Have some sitting in your shop, barn, or sawmill? Message me with the species, dimensions, quantity, photos, location, and asking price. I can pick up.

🌴💍 Wanna Get Married in the Low Country… Dudeist Style? 💍🌴

Yes, it’s true — as an officially ordained Dudeist Priest, I can legally marry couples anywhere in South Carolina.

And I make it easy:
✅ I can come to you
✅ We can do it on the beach at the North End of Hilton Head
✅ Barefoot in the sand — or even standing in the ocean if you want. It’s all cool, man.
✅ Or we can meet wherever feels right for your story

Packages start at $500, and for those wanting something truly personal, I also design and create one-of-a-kind wedding rings.

And because the Dude abides… every ceremony ends with a complimentary White Russian wedding toast (21+ only — in order to imbibe, you must abide by the 21-and-over law).

🇺🇸 Active-duty military get married for free 🇺🇸

So what exactly is Dudeism?
Simple: Watch The Big Lebowski. If you haven’t, it’s a prerequisite… and yes, there may be a brief knowledge test before I officiate. 😉

There’s only one commandment in Dudeism: Don’t be an A$$HOLE.

Legally authorized. State-recognized. 100% South Carolina approved.

❤️ Ready to get hitched — relaxed, joyful, and uniquely you?

Send me a message and let’s plan something unforgettable.

Call, text or just send some cool vibes, man (513) 235-6383

“Can you make shelves to match the tables?”
That’s what one of my awesome clients asked after picking up a few pieces last week.

Challenge accepted.

I’d never built shelves quite like this before, but I had a blast figuring it out. The goal? Match the coastal vibe of their stunning marshside home on Hilton Head—and I think we nailed it.

What surprised me most? The light. When the sun hit just right, the blue tint cast on the walls made it look like the shelves were underwater. Like your living room decided to turn into a swimming pool. Not planned… but absolutely perfect.

Always grateful for clients who trust me to try something new!

🌳 The Journey of a Palmetto Creations Cutting Board 🌳

Ever wondered what goes into making one of our beautiful cutting boards? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at each step:

-Wood Selection: It all starts with selecting the finest, high-quality wood. Each piece is carefully chosen for its unique grain patterns and durability.

-Glue-Up: Next, we glue the individual pieces together, clamping them down to ensure a tight, even bond. This step lays the foundation for a sturdy, long-lasting board.

-Flattening: Once glued, it’s time to flatten the board, creating a smooth, even surface. This ensures the board is easy to work with and pleasing to the eye.

-Turning to Edge Grain: We then turn the board to expose the edge grain, which not only enhances durability but also creates a beautiful, distinctive look.

-Second Glue-Up: For added strength and aesthetic, we do another glue-up, ensuring that the board is as resilient as it is beautiful.

-Finish Sanding: After the second glue-up, we sand the board to a perfect, smooth finish, making it ready for the kitchen.

-Oiling & Waxing: Finally, we coat each board with a blend of food-grade mineral oil and beeswax. This not only brings out the wood’s natural beauty but also provides essential protection, keeping it looking great meal after meal.

Each cutting board is a labor of love, crafted with care and attention to detail at every step. Whether you’re slicing, dicing, or just admiring it on your counter, know that your Palmetto Creations board is built to last. 🪵💧✨

A stunning, one-of-a-kind cutting board that’s already been sold for $800! 🏆✨ It’s been an amazing experience crafting this beauty and seeing it find a home so quickly.

🪵After the glue dried and set, it was time for what felt like endless sanding, sanding, and more sanding to ensure a buttery-smooth surface. This step alone was worth the effort, revealing the true beauty of the wood and setting the stage for a flawless finish. 🌟 🪵

The Art of Assembly 🖤🛠️
The heart of this project came during assembly. Using over 1 gallon of food-safe wood glue, each strip was glued and set with care to create the intricate edge grain pattern.
