Why Custom Cut Wood is The Prefect Fit - And the Benefits of It

Custom cut wood makes life easier. Precise wood cutting can be used for many DIY projects because the custom shape will fit right where it needs to. At Alderfer Lumber Company Inc, we provide custom cut services, including cutting different woods to your desired sizes and shapes.

We take on anything with our wood cutting service, so whether you need a single piece cut or in large quantities, we will gladly cut them for you. 

Benefits of Custom Cut Wood

Using custom-cut wood offers many benefits that woodworkers and homeowners can take advantage of.

Perfect Fit

Custom-cut wood fits accurately. Once you get the right measurements and have it cut properly, you can easily finish a project you are working on. There is no need to fuss around cutting the wood material yourself.

Cleaner Cuts

Lumber companies like Alderfer use machine tools to cut wood products. These tools give better and cleaner, more accurate cuts than cutting by hand. Cleaner cuts mean smooth edges that enhance the look of the finished piece.

Saves Costs

You may spend a bit on custom-cut wood material, but you’ll save in the long run. Wood cutting done by professionals means accurate cuts with no mistakes. Whereas inexpert cutting done by amateurs might damage or wrong cuts, wasting material. Thus, forcing you to spend more to buy new ones.

Durable and Stable

Woods sourced from special dealers are dependable. They are durable and stable, with minimal warping and cracking over time. These custom-cut woods will last long when used in any remodeling or DIY projects.

Convenient Work

Because our precision cuts are made to fit, you just need to insert them into where they belong. It makes the work easier and faster without spending too much effort and time.

Less Wood Waste

Professionals have the skill and knowledge to properly cut wood to specific sizes and shapes. With their expertise, they can divide the wood into sections and cut what you need without wasting a lot of wood.

FAQs

Is it cheaper to cut my own lumber?

You can save costs by not paying for cutting services. However, cutting lumber by yourself isn’t recommended unless you have the right skills and knowledge. If you don’t have the proper techniques, you might jeopardize the pieces by cutting the wrong sizes or incorrect shapes. It may also lead to rough edges that are a far cry from custom-cut natural wood done by professionals. Improper cuts will only result in you spending more money getting new lumber and additional cuts.

Can green wood be cut into specific sizes?

Green wood contracts and changes in size as it dries. Thus, it is difficult to cut them into specific sizes and shapes for a custom design. Lumber from fresh wood should be cut oversize to accommodate shrinkage while it dries. 

Is rough-cut lumber more affordable?

Rough-cut lumber is mostly cheaper than planed lumber. While it is useful for some applications that do not require any finishes, it still needs to be treated and dried properly. Otherwise, its moisture content will lead to cracking and warping over time.
