These guys have a great service! They sell live-edge pieces, and seem to do exceptional work on…read moresome of the most beautiful cuts of wood currently available in the Greater Kansas City area. But I wasn't buying one of their very fine table pieces - or their cross sections for whatever tickles you fancy. No, I was picking through their scrap pile in the back! It's about the size of a school bus, and it's basically non-precious cuts left over, or cuts too thin to be utilized in their impressive showroom otherwise. They charge around $9 per piece - I bought a 7 foot walnut slab to transform into a wall-mounted coat rack. Cost me $9.50. They'll also clean it up, plane it, and cut it down for a fee. I didn't do it, but it's nice to know they're so accommodating. They're definitely in a location that's a pain to park in front of if you're coming up the hill from the west - as there's a double line, and no turn around for over a mile. But once you make it - and though their place is wildly unrefined - you'll find a sort of boutique lumber mill of accommodating patronage. I'll definitely be back to visit. The wood's fair, the help is knowledgeable, and the stock is spectacular. You'd do well to visit too!

This place is fantastic. If you are looking for hardwood lumber they have it and at the best…read moreprices. If you want locally sourced lumber, they are the ONLY choice in town. The scrap pile would be more accurately called the treasure trove. Really great pieces of green lumber at giveaway prices. $9 for anything you can lift into your own vehicle, if it takes a forklift, they'll shoot you a tiny number first. The died lumber indoor is pricier, but still a bargain. Super nice folks and a great selection. Very good website for this sort of operation too...

They've got metal alright. Takes some real creativity to find something they dont stock. Much more…read morethan metal, their bolt selection is excellent. Grade 5 course thread? Best selection in town. Grade 8 course, fine, metric, both grades. Awesome. Sure, they've got a bunch of weld stuff too. Best part, theyre not confined to selling Miller helmets because they sell Miller welders, etc. Several brands of stuff chosen by the owner for value and longevity. Cool weldup projects to test your skills, quick clamps etc all the way up to weld fixture tables. A guy should take a half hour and see what they've got. A+

I can't believe I am the first reviewer!…read more Great place to get metal. I have a regular need for metal parts to powder coat and am routinely call orders in. Most times I can call and get it cut and ready that day so I can just go and pick it up and not have to wait. They have a wide variety of materials that you just have to go and check out.

I'm scheduled to be in KC on a project in October. This is July. I stopped by Schutte to inquire about what's available in a knotty T&G 1 by 6 for a job in October. The guy immediately gives me a speech about how he can't price anything or discuss availability for October. We just don't know what we will have in October, blah, blah, blah! The guy was making me want to throw up on his shoes. I get it. It's the "Covid Curse". Here is my issue. He didn't offer one solution! Actually all I could think about was this,.... If I owned this business I'd fire his negative sorry ass! I was ready to buy today for delivery between tomorrow to October. I'm tired of problem solving for people who are supposed to be in SALES! They lost about a $15k sale today.

I had an excellent experience with Specialty Lumber Solutions for a residential decking project…read more Quote was extremely competitive for Cumaru, all long, single lengths; delivery arrived in a week, and driver arrived exactly in the time window promised. Even better, unlike most other wood suppliers, this particular delivery arrived by forklift right to my driveway, and was placed exactly where I wanted it. No need to unload from the truck at street in a mad rush, or worse, arrange delivery separately from the nearest port. Upon initial inspection, the Cumaru looks beautiful. Do expect some fairly curved boards (order extra just in case) but this I think is unavoidable with very long boards: I highly recommend a deck board straightening tool/wrench. This will "save" those boards and also this precious wood resource. Salesperson was responsive and helpful. Don't forget to end-seal most hardwoods after cutting.
