I really enjoy buying my specialty lumber here. Reasonable prices, no pushy salesmen and everyone is super nice. Their calculations on what to charge ($ per board foot) are spot on, and all the lumber is excellent quality, i will be back again and again. Thank you Great Spirit!

Made my first trip here on my way back to Chicago from Wisconsin. I think it was probably the best experience I’ve ever had at a hardwood dealer.The appointment system is really nice, I know it’s a COVID measure but I wouldn’t mind if it was the norm. It takes all the stress out of trying to maneuver around aisles that get crowed very quickly when you’re digging through stacks.I needed around 20bdft of rift and quartersawn clear walnut heartwood, something that’s usually a pain to dig out but I got all of it in a few pieces after pulling only 6 or 7 boards. Not sure if it was all luck or if they’re just more selective with what goes on the rack.Rough sawn and full thickness are a big bonus, I’ve had to buy 5/4 at the places that skip plane or it would be too thin after final milling. Love that their price sheets are posted and open, cheaper than my usual place, too.If it wasn’t such a trek from Chicago these guys would be my go to.

Love this place. They have a lot of beautiful pieces in their showroom and also have a great selection of slabs available. Skip is awesome and has always been willing to share knowledge when I've gone there to buy wood for projects.

Incredible quality and great experience working with Great Spirit Hardware for my custom live edge dining table. I made an appointment and met with Skip who walked me through the shop explaining the wood drying process and made a list of features that were most important to me. Affordable pricing, best I've seen for walnut which other sell at high premium. Easy delivery scheduling. Absolutely love the end result and that I was able to get my table made locally.

Went there to pick up some lumber for a project. All the wood was Select and Better grade, no #1&2 common so I didnt have to cull through a whole pile of lumber for my project. I just loaded up the cart, board after board, and put it in the truck.The cherry lumber was some really nice stuff, consistent color and zero sap wood. It would make beautiful furniture. All the lumber was nice stock that any serious woodworker or furniture maker would enjoy getting their hands on.Place also had a showroom of custom pieces and tables. It's worth a trip out to East Dundee to visit Great Spirit Hardwoods, I am happy I made the trip.

Booking an appointment was easy. When I got there I called the number on the side door and a staff member promptly let me in. I was nervous about going in the store to pick out my boards with the pandemic, but they are taking the precautions very seriously. There was thorough sanitizing and I was the only person in the store. There was a great selection at very reasonable prices. Both large dimensional lumber and a good selection of smaller pieces that would be great for DIY projects. The next time I need hardwood, I am certainly coming here!
