These guys and gals are great. The milling guys are helpful and always willing to mill whatever piece I bring in.

Placed 2 orders with Woodworkers Source. Both had issues. The first was an undersized board, but they made good on making it right. The second order was riddled with staples due to packaging. There were staples on the face of the boards, sides and ends. Customer service wasn't very helpful this time. They claim that the boards didn't have excessive damage and refused to replace the boards. Although i agree its not excessive damage, its about their claim for 100% satisfaction guarantee. read more

Why go here when we have rockler wood working? Not a bad store at all but honestly is the same thing as rockler but way worst,also manager don't know how to handle people, if you want the best customer service this is not the store but rockler is for sure read more

The crew over at woodworkers source are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable! They have a great selection of woods to chose from both in the store then in the back shop. Huge thank you to Mike for helping me and answering all of my questions. I described to him what I wanted to do (build thicker floating longer shelves for plants) and showed him what brackets I was working with and he walked me around and explained all my options and his recommendations and why he was recommending them so I learned a lot! Picked up my shelves today which they were helpful to cut to size and run the sander over them for me. The store guys helped me pick out the best stain for the project. Definitely will be going back here for all my wood needs! Highly recommend The store and shop also smell amazing! read more

To say we are thrilled with the team at this store, managed by Corey, is an understatement! They helped us in our selection and decision to use 8/4 walnut for 2 countertops and an island for our kitchen remodel. They offered the service to prepare, plane, and glue these up, which was no easy feat, due to the length needed. They wanted to ensure these turned out beautifully! Took the time they needed without rushing. Special thanks go out to Corey, Mike, Jen, and many others who helped with this project!! You helped make our dream kitchen a reality!! read more

I stopped into woodworker source today and had a very pleasant first experience. All the staff were very helpful. I was looking to make a charcuterie board white elephant gift. I came in very unknowledgeable to purchasing wood and left with a great experience and a better understanding. Jen was especially helpful. She went above and beyond and I would highly recommend this place. read more

Woodworkers Source is a great local shop to buy wood. My husband's hobby is to make various wood-projects ... at least 1 or 2 pieces a year and this is the shop he frequents. They have the "standard" woods but also more exotic woods such as zebra wood, purple heart, etc. Very pretty in person! I've gone in a few times with my husband to look through their selections; all wood-types are kept stocked up and the shop is organized. It's my understanding that they sometimes swap out woods for other ones (not sure or maybe they're not available all the time?) but with the amount of choices, he always finds what he needs. If you ask, they do help with cutting down big boards to smaller pieces. I'm not too familiar with prices but my husband said they're pretty reasonable! Overall, a good place to for your wood-working needs. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews cause everyone can have a bad day, however employee Lombardo was incredibly rude in both occasions of dealing with him. When I called to check status on an order, he adamantly insisted that I had been called multiple times and needed to check my voice mail. Nobody had called or left a voice mail. I mentioned it to him today when I picked it up and he again insisted they had called and when I told him he was being rude, he stared at me as if he wanted to fight?!? I've never experienced anything like this. Fortunately I called and spoke to the store manager Corey who apologized and was very pleasant. While I love this store, I won't be back if he is who I have to deal with. read more

This was my first time there. I walked in and there was a couple of customers. I looked around a bit and not one employee said a word to me. I came back around to the front where the employees were just talking. I walked around and left. Pretty rude if you ask me. Either you have to be a regular or with tits to get some attention and help. I'm not gonna drive 45 minutes again that's for sure!! But they did have a great selection of lumber! That's the only reason for the additional star. read more

Great choices, and nice selection. The sale items are carefully rotated in and out of availability. I go there for the exotic hardwoods that are not too expensive, but otherwise hard to find. read more

Used to be a favorite spot for my woodworking needs. Although since the management change, the store has constantly gone down hill. Discontinued popular materials, over priced, repeatedly rearrange store to make it more "functional" which it is far from. Always a mess and employees seem "checked out". It's unfortunate, used to arrive and leave with a smile. Now dread coming into this location. read more

New wood worker here; the staff was on point and amazing with all the helpful advice. I really appreciate the fact that they resolved a minor issue on the spot without hesitation. There was a minor cosmetic blemish in the piece of wood I purchased. They swapped it out without a second thought. Mark and his crew are awesome to work with and I can't wait for my next project now. read more

Friendly, helpful, reasonable prices. What more could you ask for? I need the legs of an IKEA coffee table shortened so I could use it as a sitting-on-the-floor desk. The crew at Woodworkers Source didn't judge me for buying anything at IKEA (even though I judge myself for it) and did a beautiful cut and mill on them. Desk is exactly what I needed. read more

My go to source for all of my woodworking supplies. As a custom drum builder sourcing high quality exotic and domestic woods is essential. Woodworkers source meets my needs in spade. Couple that with unequalled customer service and you have the best resource in Arizona hands down. read more

What a great place for woodworkers of all skills! Just the clearance boxes outside the front door make it worthwhile checking this place out. From a small project to a 10' dining table, this really is your woodworker's source! read more

We bought some Baltic birch plywood 4x8 sheets, cut down to size. We have the guy directions, and he still cut it wrong... but he admitted it... and then got another sheet off the rack and cut it correctly the second time. Like any specialty wood store.... they have nice exotic wood, higher end tools and accessories, etc. Of course, the price will be higher than going to the big chain home improvement stores. read more

I came here after having a horrible and unprofessional experience at Ace Hardware (the supervisor of the store quoted me on a project he undertook for me, where I was asked to pay up front without being given a receipt. He never delivered, and during the span of 30 days I was unable to contact him at the store level or on his personal number. They kept my money and did me dirty.) The workers here are knowledgeable and professional. The wood inventory has great quality and selection. Prices are great! Honest work. The store/shop was clean and well organized. Doug helped me out with a simple project that Ace failed me on. It was done in less than 10 minutes while I waited at the store. I'm very pleased with the professionalism and courtesy of the staff- great place and would highly recommend. This was a great turnout after being so discouraged and disappointed by my previous experience at Ace! read more

Woodworkers Source - Needed duplicates of the white piece. They did a great job, and super quick, while I waited there. - Building Supplies Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I've purchased some wood in the past from them and from what I remember, they were helpful then. This time I needed some Baltic birch to work on a project and I decided to call them first to get some information. I got great help and my information on the phone to help me with my decision. Soon after I got on the road to get the materials and got help pretty much immediately. A few cuts had to be made to help me along and to fit it in my car. I figured it might be a little wait, but to my surprise I got helped with that also just about immediately. All the guys at this location were friendly, courteous and helpful. Their selection of woods is also very good and they run specials on various selections all the time. I really recommend this place should you want some quality materials for your next wood working project. read more

This is like a candy store for carpenters......wow, so much wood! And TONS of exotic woods! I'm not a wood worker, but my husband dabbles in projects....he was practically salivating! Even for me, it was fun! They had some really beautiful woods like purple heart and zebra wood, mahogany, mesquite (and other domestics) lots of woods from Africa....If this was a hobby for me, I think this would be the jackpot! They do have a shop in the back where you can recieve some assistance on your projects, and they do sell a few tools, though I would think the main purpose in coming here would be for their variety of wood. read more

Great selection of hardwood and cheaper than anyone else. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Everyone here is very helpful with tips/tricks and best supplies for my projects. Thanks guys!

Loved this shop, great wood selection and friendly staff. We came for the first time to find some beautiful wood for a custom chess board project. We found exactly what we needed, got it cut as a complementary service, and picked up a few other supplies. While chatting with a cashier, we learned about their rewards program, and signed up. No sales pressure tactics, just a friendly informative support. We will be back! read more

Greg and Jared were super nice loading my truck with my heavy purchase. When I got home I found out I purchase the wrong with in they were very accommodating about me bringing it back for an exchange I highly recommend this place it's very meeting clean inside as well. read more

Very friendly staff and always willing to help! Do yourself a favor and visit this location for any woodworking needs!

The staff is great, they have monthly sales of different woods. Good savings by becoming a member. Knowledgeable and helpful.

Woodworkers Source is everything you'd imagine a carpenter's dream store to be. Well-organized, with everything you could think of for your next woodworking project. A large section of their store is devoted to beautiful exotic woods in various sizes. If I ever take on a woodworking project or need some lovely planks of wood this is the place I will go! read more

Huge selection but there are always friendly experts nearby. They are great to work with and I always seem to find the exact special boards I want. read more

I normally shop for wood at the big box retailers, or at least I used to. Since I've discovered Woodworkers Source, I've experienced the benefits of using premium lumber. The selection of wood is simply breathtaking. The staff is exceptional as well. Everyone there, yes, everyone, is knowledgeable and love to offer advice. Truly helpful group. My last few experiences have been with Greg Robertson. He has offered amazing assistance and we also talk shop. I'm a huge fan of this place. Check it out. read more

My husband and I are in here probably every other week and we always have an AMAZING experience!! Every person we talk to is incredibly knowledgeable (especially Brett and Greg!!), and they always have useful tips for whatever project we're working on. Their selection is always phenomenal (their variety of exotic woods is always a delight to look through!), the quality of their products is always on point, and the pricing is very fair - especially if you're part of the Rosewood club - $20 and worth every penny! Between the friendly and amazing service, the quality products, and the welcoming vibe we knew we found our favorite store from day one. We have shopped at pretty much all of the wood shops through the valley, and I know it sounds super cheesy, but this is the only store that you feel like family and know that you can rely on these gents to steer you in the right direction. You guys rock!!!! :-) read more

I've been shopping at this location for the last several years, since I began woodworking. I'm relatively new to this whole world, and I can honestly say I've made significant progress due to the help and assistance of the staff here at Woodworker's Source. Every time I've been in, they're always incredibly helpful and resourceful, open to questions and genuinely seem to enjoy doing what they do. You always feel like you're a familiar face with the staff and the amount of combined knowledge amongst them is very impressive. Big thanks to Jared and co, the last time I came in they all chipped in to assist with a project I brought in for some milling, and spent a few extra minutes talking to me about different tips and tricks to not only rest my anxious nerves but aid me in future endeavors. Can't recommend this location enough, and Woodworker's Source is a great location for lumber, supply, services, etc for the beginner woodworker all the way to someone who's got years of experience. read more

Went there today, the salesman did a entire tutorial for someone as there are multiple people waiting for help. I was patiently waiting to be helped he then turned and helped someone that came two people behind me. Funny thing is the person he ended up helping, he didn't have want he was looking for. I was there to make a legit purchase of machinery. I walked out.. I'll take my money someone else. read more

First of all, I have been a loyal customer to Woodworkers Source for years. As a member of their rosewood club, I have spent thousands here. A couple weeks ago I had stopped by and picked up some red oak and a sheet of baltic birch. The wife had my truck that day and I needed the lumber roughly halved to fit in my vehicle, no big deal. I pulled my lumber and paid and when I pulled up around back I realized the baltic was about 2" too long to close the hatch on my vehicle. I went back in and asked if they could just run it down the table saw and take off a couple inches, nothing exact at all. (There is a sign in the shop that says 2 cuts on sheet goods, to fit in a vehicle are free.) I had already had him make a single rip to produce two 2.5'x5' sheets and just needed a cut perpendicular to drop the length to somewhere near 4'9". The man in the shop looked at me, frustrated and said "$15 minimum milling fee". I told him it would only be the second cut on that sheet and he didn't seem to care. Mind you, I just paid $45 for the sheet of wood (there was about $200 on my total bill that day) and had them cut it, it was my wood now. I had to pay $15 extra to get two inches ripped off or just leave it there after paying for it. I was completely blown away. I am used to their prices being high - I've been willing to pay since it's a reliable, convenient place, but this poor-service has me upset three weeks later. And it's not the labor fee that makes me so upset, I've actually paid them shop time in the past when I needed something done and didn't have the time to do it myself - it was the old man's attitude to me. Just a helpful hint, Woodworkers Source: It's better to go above and beyond and leave your customers thrilled than to pull an obviously short-sighted move like that. Hope that $15 was worth it, it'll be the last I spend there. From now on, I'll order from Spellman or shop at Timber in Mesa and recommend everyone else do the same. read more

I am new to wood working. I went in this business looking for wood for my first woodworking project. The gentleman at the front counter couldn't have been less enthusiastic about helping me through this process if he tried. I am very disappointed and truthfully, pissed off. I explained I was new and he clearly had no interest in shepherding me through this process. Didn't even ask me what I was going to build. This shop is one mile from my house.... however, I will not be returning. I've found a shop in Mesa that has been awesome. read more

I was just here and was working with Jackson, he helped me with everything I needed to build a desk for my boys! I will definitely be back. Such a cool place with wonderful employees! read more

Woodworkers Source is Amazing! The staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and enthusiastic. I want to give special recognition to Marc, who has helped me several times and the last visit, was able to plane and sand 8 maple boards, to my specifications, in 10 minutes. Instead of having me drop the boards off and come back for them, he made sure he could do the work while I waited and saved me a bunch of time. Thanks Marc! read more

My friend likes to say that a store like this is what women experience in a Prada store. Clean well laid out, high end woodworking tools and woods. They also have a shop to help process your projects with the tools you lack. I find myself going here more now that I found it. read more

Attached is the confirmation of an order I placed with Woodworkers Source. Needless to say I was not happy with the sarcastic attitude so I will not be ordering from them in the future. Hi Virginius, As promised, here's a happy little automated email to say thank you for your order. Woodworking makes everybody happy, and we're extra pleased that you chose to order from us. It was a small order for some spanish cedar for a few humidors i am making. Not much money, about $100, but I didn't appreciate the sarcasm. Here's what we're going to do: within 3 business days, my specialized team of well trained employees will carefully select, package, and ship your order. If you made size specifications on lumber, it may take longer but we will let you know. To keep up morale, they take the weekends off; so only the days between Monday and Friday count. When the order ships, we're going to send you an email with the UPS Tracking Number, and throw a big party. Before then, though, if I have some questions about the order (such as size requirements, availability, etc.), I will either email or call because I want to make sure you get what you need. Contact me: reply to this email or call 800-423-2450 (8:00am to 5:00pm Mon-Fri, Arizona time).

I suggest having a sharp utility knife ready when the order arrives; it might take some time to unwrap it. I'll be in touch soon. Have a fantastic day, Craig Haggarton Mail Order Manager Woodworkers Source I have some great news, Virginius. Our team of 107 hard working (and exceptionally good looking) employees has - with great care and attention - selected, packaged and shipped your order #78247 on this beautiful day. I really think you'd have enjoyed watching all the action when your order came through. When I handed it to Robert, our master packager, he looked at the order, smiled, pulled out a pair of his favorite Italian leather gloves and slid them onto his hands. "Nothing but the best," he said. And off he went! As he selected your order, he placed it all on a satin-lined chariot to transport it to the packaging center. And there's more . . . All other 106 crew members stopped. Every last one of them. They gathered around, lit incense and candles, and watched with hushed awe as he wrapped the entire order in the finest gold-laced cardboard and stretch wrap that money can buy. Seriously, you could have heard a pin drop. In the end, the guys were so thrilled that they wanted to throw a party just for your order. We're talking about a big fiesta with live music, a roasted pig, and a dessert spread of homemade chocolate ganache, Ukranian prune tortes, and cinnamon madeleines. You should have seen the look on the UPS driver's face when he showed up. He thought he was going to pick up the packages as usual, but instead we picked *him* up carried him down the street on our shoulders while the band played. You can imagine what happened next, right? Our neighbors came outside to see what the fuss was all about, and when they saw your beautiful order they joined in, and toasted ol' Robert who then delivered a rather moving speech on the joys of working with wood as a means to self improvement. Someone must have called the local TV stations because the next thing I knew I had six interviews to handle for reporters who asked, "What does Virginius Swimme intend to make?" But don't worry, your secret's safe. I told them, "World peace." Man! If only woodworking could do that! Anyway, the guys hope to see pictures of what you make so we can have another party (I know what you're thinking). I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at Woodworkers Source. We enjoyed every minute of it, and we've named you "Customer of the Year." That gets you a pretty good parking spot right out front if you ever come see us. So come see us some time. Okay, okay. You want the info, I'm sure. Your tracking information is below, or you can also get it all by logging into your at account at our website.
