We are a team of dedicated professionals driven by a simple vision: to provide the highest-quality hardwood lumber the market has to offer, delivered with integrity and service that’s second to none. For us, it’s not just about lumber, it’s about building lasting relationships through trust, reliability, and consistent excellence.
Founded in 1978 by John William “Jack” Goodfellow, J.W. Goodfellow has grown from a family vision into a recognized leader in hardwood supply. Today, the company is proudly operated by Jack’s three sons : John, Bruce, and Robert, all graduates of the NHLA Inspection School.
We believe great hardwoods start with great forests. That’s why J.W. Goodfellow is dedicated to sourcing from partners who follow sustainable harvesting practices, protecting our environment today, and for generations to come.







At J.W. Goodfellow, every board is cared for from the moment it arrives. Freshly sawn green lumber is stickered within 24 hours and air-dried under cover for 1–6 weeks. From there, it moves into our state-of-the-art dehumidification kilns, where it’s precision-dried to a stable 6–8% moisture content. The result: dependable, high-quality lumber that performs the way you expect.

Quality starts with expertise. Our team of NHLA-certified inspectors brings over 80 years of combined experience to the grading process. That knowledge ensures every load we ship meets the highest industry standards, giving our customers confidence and consistency in every board foot.

We provide advanced machining and value-added services to deliver lumber exactly the way you need it:
