Visit Bennett Hardwoods
We offer a selection of premium hardwoods, including White Oak, Walnut, Elm, Ash, and more. Our kiln-drying process ensures optimal moisture content, reducing movement and improving workability for a flawless end product.
Not all projects require the same grade of lumber. That’s why we offer select and better grades, allowing you to choose the perfect balance of quality and cost for your specific needs. Every board is graded in-house for consistency and reliability.
For those who require enhanced stability, unique grain patterns, or a refined aesthetic, we offer rift-sawn, quarter-sawn, and flat-sawn options. These cuts are ideal for furniture makers, flooring specialists, and millwork shops looking for precision and performance.
We know that off-the-shelf sizes don’t always work. That’s why we provide custom milling services, including S4S (surfaced on four sides), cut-to-length, and fully tailored solutions through our expert millworks team. Whether you need extra-wide planks, long-length boards, or a unique profile, we can make it happen.
Root River Hardwoods serves customers across Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa, including the high-end lake communities around Wayzata and Minnetonka where our high-quality architectural millwork goes into some of the region’s finest homes.
For large-scale or specialty orders, we deliver nationwide, bringing our custom millwork solutions to customers wherever they’re needed.
