  • Just had my first interaction with Peterman Lumber here in Las Vegas. I needed a 8/4 x 10 piece of maple for a project I'm working on. Their stock of 8/4 was nonexistent in anything over 6". Settled on a piece of 5/4 H.E.Maple that was 98 1/2" x 9 1/2" (only slightly over 9" for about 2' of the board though - which I didn't realize until I got it home). I'm new to the whole buying lumber thing, so I might be making a mistake, but I can only get my math to work out to a bit over 8 bf (bf = board feet, which is how they sell the lumber). They charged me for 11 bf however. I just realized the overcharge and I'll contact them tomorrow (since they don't have email or another way to contact them after hours). We'll see how they respond, but so far, not too impressed. Suggestion to others is to confirm the width of the board for the full length, as well as the thickness (my 5/4 is actually only 1 1/8"), then, make sure they do the bf calculation correctly ((L" x W" x D") /144). Update - 4/25/2017 Contacted Peterman to let them know I felt I was overcharged. They explained that they don't charge based on the dimension of the lumber, but the pre-dimension size, then they add 10% for straightening. So, my board, that was sold as 5/4, which is actually close to 1 1/8" thick, I was charged for 1 1/2" and then 10% for the "straightening". I'm not sure if this is an industry practice or not since I'm new to this, but it doesn't seem fair to be paying for 25% less than you're actually getting. I'll look at CA wood suppliers for my next wood purchase and see if Peterman Lumber's pricing model stands. At this point, I'm leaving my rating at 2 stars.
