Niece Lumber was founded on high quality wood products. As the need for low maintenance materials increased, the call for real wood products decreased. Many lumberyards cut back on their real wood products, we have not. We still carry a large variety of Eastern Pine and Western Cedar products that can’t be found stocked at Home Depot, Lowes or other lumberyards. Below we’ve highlighted 5 items that you may not know we have in stock. Many more patterns are stocked as well, we’ll highlight them in a future blog.
