Kentucky wood suppliers

Buying lumber in Kentucky

Kentucky has a strong hardwood resource and forest-products economy, with sawmills, manufacturers, specialty wood suppliers, and construction lumberyards across the state.

The Kentucky Division of Forestry's utilization program supports wood-product markets, process improvements, and connections between timber supply and industry. Supplier inventory varies from rough local hardwood to finished and standardized building products.

Before you go

• Determine whether you need a sawmill, hardwood dealer, or construction lumberyard; they generally serve different projects.
• Confirm species, grade, thickness, drying, surfacing, minimum purchase, retail access, and pickup or delivery options.

Regional context does not establish inventory at an individual supplier. Sources: Kentucky resource utilization and marketing, Kentucky Division of Forestry.
