As a local woodworking shop, we purchase the majority of our lumber from Johnson's Workbench in Charlotte, MI. They have a great selection of lumber that we use for our wood carving business including the exotic wood for those special projects we get from time to time. The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. In addition, we have purchased several pieces of woodworking equipment and are very pleased with the quality of their product line. As the owner of TheWoodGrainGallery, I would highly recommend Johnson's Workbench as they truly have everything for the woodworker! read more

These guys are fantastic. Every single person I talked to during two visits and numerous phone calls was courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable. I'm not much of a woodworker, but (again) everyone I encountered there was able to help me convert my ideas into proper woodworking lingo, and they had plenty of ideas on reaching my goals at a reasonable price. This included the phone and in-person sales people, the lumber sorters, the mill workers, and the cashiers. I drove an hour and a half one way to get to this place because of their advertised prices and selection, but was blown away by the service. Would definitely visit again. read more

Its a long way from Detroit, but it is a great store. Though its more than just a store, several buildings on the property, warehouses filled with various woodworking goodies. The retail shop was clean and organized, staff was friendly. They sold tools of every size and shape, I saw powermatic, jet, sawstop, others Im sure. There were also a large variety of accessories and such. They sold S4S domestics and exotics. I didnt see any raw wood available, but maybe it was hiding. read more

Lots of things for the woodworker. How-to books, paint, tools, you name it. Plus, lumber.
