I had a wonderful shopping experience when I visited the other day. The business sign was on the ground so i passed the place twice before finding it, but it was worth it. The rough cut lumber is in the back and they have quite the selection. I was only really there for some beech for making hand planes, so i didnt check out every row of available species, but they have a lot to choose from. Also check out their cutoffs section. Plenty of long strips left over from ripping boards to size that would be great for many projects. There are large boxes of smaller cutoffs as well. Species isnt marked on them, but at the price i paid, i didnt care. As for the beech, i bought a piece that was 8/4 and about 10in wide totaling about 10bf. Also, they offer military discount with proper ID.
The guys at OP Hardwoods were great to work with. Wife wanted to update the fireplace. We found our inspiration and headed to OP Hardwoods. I gave them the measurements and they cut both mantelpieces to size. With a little sanding, routing, stain and polyurethane the beautiful walnut really shows through. Thank you so much.
These guys have great wood! The owners are super friendly and knowledgeable. All of the people who work their are just plain good, honest people. They dont just sell wood, they are woodworkers themselves and have given me great advice and helped me with many projects. Would highly recommend for any of your woodworking needs! Thanks again for all the help OP!
OP is the best. Huge selection. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Had a couple slabs to flatten and sand and they owner went above and beyond to make sure it happened the day I dropped them off! Excellent customer service for prep and milling services. Would highly recommend.
I visited the springfield missouri location for the first time last week and was totally impressed with the professional customer service that I received. They had a great inventory of all sorts of various types of wood, and prices were good as well. Definitely will be returning soon. Save time and stop in there first.
High prices and so far every board with the exception of the spanish cedar have had so much internal stress it made the, Maple, Purple Heart and Walnut very difficult to work. After resawing some 4/4 rock maple it twisted and cupped so bad most of it was lost to the jointer and planer. People have always been nice, the wood is just fast kilned and from what I have experienced need to be used close to the purchased dimensions.
Very nice shop. Lovely wood
Wonderful people fantastic selection of hardwoods.
Absolutely the friendliest owner and staff anywhere! I stopped by on a whim as I passed through Springfield, but I was so impressed by them, that theyll be a regular stop from now on!
Very friendly and informative staff. I couldnt imagine going anywhere else.
Little shop with good prices on great looking wood. People are super helpful, and are great to work with. Will be my new go to place for anything hardwood related.
The greatest place to buy wood of any kind the best customer service
Love this place. They had their Grand Re-opening today November 9, 2019, and Im so happy to have found this place. Many kinds of wood for any kind of woodworker. They have all kinds of wood for wood turners, crafters, woodcarvers....you name it. They will soon have classes. Stop in, its well worth it. Veterans get a discount!
Great place for domestic and exotic woids.
Great place. Tom is extremely knowledge and helpful. Couldnt have asked for a better wood buying experience.
Everything in there is hardwood which is nice. The prices on oak are pretty good. Went there to quote some wood for a futon Im building. Staff is helpful and from what I seen will even cut custom shapes for u if needed.
The people here are really friendly and helpful, and they have some really neat species of wood.
I highly recommend OP Hardwoods! Great selection, great pricing and the staff & owner make you feel like family. I feel like I am going to have to come up with some new projects just so I can keep coming in here.
Very helpful staff and some very specialized woodworking supplies and materials. They can even make custom wood products to replace broken furniture, window, toy..pretty much anything wooden that needs replacement parts. I brought in a part from one of my customers windows and they made exact replicas of the parts.
Good service in general, but dont try to email with a question. They have an email address but do not respond to any emails Ive sent them in the last 3 years of working with them.
We really enjoy the place for our carving supply needs..
I showed up 10 minutes before they closed with a small list of stuff. It was obvious that they were already shut down and closed up. They helped me find everything I needed and turned the shop back on to cut wood down to the size I needed. Very helpful and friendly not only will i go back but Im not going to look for other options. Great place!!
I would give them zero stars if I could! I hired the owner of OP Hardwoods to put wood veneer on a coffee table for me. I took it home and when I opened the windows of my house the veneer buckled everywhere. They said they could fix it by ironing it, which I though sounded like a joke, but had them try anyway. Again, it bucked. They are now refusing to refund ANY of the $600 I paid them OR to take any fault in the matter. I guess theyre blamed me for storing the table in my house!?? Last I checked, veneered furniture is not sold with a warning to not open your windows! This was supposed to be a gift for my mom. My husband made the table, and now it is completely ruined. I have never been treated or ripped off so badly! Gross people with gross business ethics!
OP Hardwoods is the perfect shop. Theyve combined the convenience of a box store with top notch customer service, extremely competitive pricing, and a very large selection. I will most definitely be back, time and time again!
We went into OP hardwoods to look for a unique piece of wood for a little project we were planning. While in their shop on Friday, January 24th Joe showed us around and we ended up picking a piece of sycamore wood. We asked for their help with the project and Joe told us that Evann was the one to talk to. We showed Evann the piece we liked and he verbally quoted us a price for the wood itself and also the labor to get the job done. We asked for them to hold the wood for 24 hours and called back on Saturday to tell them to go ahead and get the ball rolling. Evann said it would be about a 2 week turnaround and that he would email us a work order on Monday to finalize it all. After not hearing from him, we called to see what was going on. They said he was just very busy, but asked for us to email him first and he would respond with the work order. We agreed and emailed him Monday evening. We did not hear from them on Tuesday or Wednesday and tried calling each day, but the excuses just kept going... Evann is busy, he can’t talk right now, he just left. Finally, on Thursday, we called again and talked to Joe, who said that he had talked to Evann and had pricing. We were already verbally quoted so this didn’t make sense in itself. We asked why Evann wouldn’t return our calls or emails, and Joe really didn’t have an answer. Joe then told us the quote was now nearly DOUBLE of what we were originally told. He said the piece of wood was bigger than they thought, and that it was going to take more time to build. Wow! I can’t believe this is how this company does business. Joe then told us that we could just buy the wood and that they were fine with that. It’s obvious they do not want our business which is fine... why would anyone buy from them when this is how they treat their customers. We will look elsewhere! Buyer beware!
