Long length softwoods, wide width rift and thermal mod wood — as well as exotics

Specialty lumber for the trade — supplied from our Plainfield, NJ shop, with finishing done in-house. For builders, woodworkers, architects, and designers.


Not your granddad’s lumber supplier.

Raritan Timber Co. serves a new generation of builders — the ones pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in wood. We supply long-length clear-grade softwoods and wide-width rift boards, plus thermally modified wood, charred cedar, and thermal pine in various finishes — and the hard-to-source exotics most yards can’t get. When you reach out and we don’t have it in stock, you won’t hear “too bad.”

We scour the market to find exactly what you need — and deliver. We keep a small, intentional stock and source the rest fast, so the right material gets to the right job.

We’re not a warehouse and we’re not a broker. We make a market for specialty wood — holding what moves, sourcing what’s rare, and standing behind every board. We’re also the supply side of the same shop behind Chisel & Loom, so everything we sell already meets the standard we hold for our own finished work.

Thermal & Charred Wood

Thermally modified wood, charred cedar, and thermal pine — dimensionally stable, rich in color, and built for interior and exterior work.

Specialty Sourcing

Long-length softwood timbers from Canada, wide-width rift white oak, and exotic or imported species on request — the stock most yards can’t get. We make the market for hard-to-find wood.

Finishing In-House

Planing, sanding, and interior or exterior grade finishes applied at our shop — so your material arrives ready to install.
