The high quality of the woods offered by GPS are exceptional. Each board I have purchased has been almost flawless (FAS). When I purchase lumber from GPS I can buy my exact needs plus 10% whereas other dealers I have to purchase an extra 20 to 25% to address the flaws in the wood. Most of the time I can pick boards that are from the same log giving the final project a consistent color and grain. It is worth while for me to drive from northeastern Raleigh to Kennersville because I save so much time milling the woods I buy. GPS provides and exceptional product at a fair price.

Finding high quality and unique hardwood lumber is always a challenge for furniture makers. GPS always has a good supply and variety of beautiful slabs and boards; nicely planed so you can see the grain you will be working with. I also appreciate that GPS is rebuilding some of the glory of the past furniture focus of North Carolina. With new, innovative woodworking tools being offered by vendors we should see a steady increase of new woodworkers. They will do well to take a trip to GPS. Make sure you know their open hours before you make the trip! Steve Chapel Hill read more

GPS is my favorite place to shop for wood. I have never been disappointed in the quality of the products, nor the service provided. I've purchased several species over the years, including white and red oak, mahogany, walnut, cherry and spalted maple. I've also purchased small quantities of purple heart and blackwood for projects. Pricing is competitive and the selection is always amazing. The kiln dried wood is stable and ready for use. You won't go wrong in giving GPS your business! read more

I shop with these guys frequently! Mostly I go for something special like a fabulous 8 foot plank of South American Rosewood to build a guitar amplifier cabinet. They even put a picture of it on their website. A couple of weeks ago I just dropped by to if they had anything unique or new!!! I ended up picking up 3 beautiful pieces of Red Oak for a song. He called them scraps! I called them 6 charcuterie trays!! Just great hardwoods and exotics!! David Rodwell Winston Salem, NC read more

Great, wide, clear hardwoods in an easy to find location and you hand load your wood. That means you get to look at every piece. There is a wide selection of domestic and exotics from which to choose. The key to buying from GPS is the on sight kiln drying process. I go straight to milling instead of acclimating wood to ambient humidity and temperature In my shop for a number of weeks. GPS has the best the Appalachian's have to offer. read more

GPS Hardwoods is truly a gem hidden in our own backyards ! Their flourishing business speaks of the beautiful natural products they procure for us. Our home has been enriched by their gorgeous black walnut which we made into counter tops. Even if you are not in the market for any wood products at the moment visiting their shop is a fun experience. Thank you GPS for all you do and how you do it ! read more

Glenn always has a good selection of high quality wood. Don't have to cull through stacks to find what you are looking for. Friendly and knowledgeable. Prices are a touch higher than other hardwood stores but the quality and the fact that you save time sorting through stacks makes it worth the visit to his place. Still very satisfied after four years of buying beautiful wood from Glenn. read more

I was one of GPS's first customers for a live edge table (my table is on their website). the wood is beatiful and the pricing was very competetive. There was an issue with some separation, but the GPS t4am came to the house, took the table back for a re-glue and then returned it to me. In all, they were conscientious, courteous and competent. I would use them again. read more

Great place, nice selection, always! The walnut and cherry are my favorite! I remember they also deliver but haven't had the chance to use that, not enough volume for a hobbyist. Would be great if they could carry the newer types of plywood - eucalyptus, the engineered variety etc. Supposed to be LOT more reasonable than paying $150 for walnut ply. read more
