It's not the same as it was 10 years ago. Prices are high and most of their dimensional lumber is sapwood. I hardly saw any heartwood at all. I still stop in and check out the short bins, but again, still expensive.

HH is my new favourite lumber yard and place to buy Festool, Woodpecker, etc. This is even though it is 1 hr 15 minutes away from where I live. The journey is absolutely worth it for me because of the quality of lumber, the range of materials stocked, and the fantastic service. On the service, a special shout out to Frank who went above and beyond to help me find a rare wide board for a fine furniture project, and for sharing his woodworking experience.

Went here for the first time today. Incredible selection, everything is clearly marked, and they offer 25% off shorts (which there is also a huge selection of). Kevin showed me all around, helped pick through the shorts, and even cut a board of walnut for me since I only needed 4' (he told me they can cut any board as long as you leave them 6'). Great selection and great customer service. I will be back!
