With a growth rate of roughly 1.8% annually, Texas is one of the fastest-growing states in the United States, and is driven by domestic and international migration into major metro areas such as Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. Its economic growth has outpaced much of the US, especially over the last several years. 

Whether it is the vast expanses of West Texas or the economically booming metro areas, people have been flocking to the state for a variety of reasons. As people move into the state, and businesses start and expand, construction projects are forever on the rise. With this growth, the demand for high-quality hardwoods is reaching record highs, and Select Hardwoods is here to fill the gap.

Appalachian Hardwood Supplier for Texas Projects

While there are plenty of great sources for hardwoods available throughout Texas, hardwoods exported from the Appalachian region are often superior. Trees from the Appalachian region carry many distinctive signatures of the environment from which they come, as well as the traditions of those who have stewarded this precious natural resource. 

The Appalachian Mountains are the oldest in North America. In fact, millions of years ago, this ancient mountain range was as tall as the Himalayas. Over time, the mountains have eroded into much smaller, more gentle hills. Because of the climate and the rich soils created by the slow degradation of the Appalachian mountains, hardwood trees can grow prolifically and strongly.

Hardwood Biodiversity in Appalachian Forests

Appalachian forests are home to at least 158 different species of trees and are one of the most tree-rich regions in North America. The high number of species offers a wide variety of natural resources and allows us to ethically source top-quality lumber.

Some of the best examples of Appalachian hardwoods include:

• Red Oak: Hard and heavy, red oak is strong and is used in everything from furniture to kitchen cabinets.
• White Oak: White oak machines well and is a hard and heavy wood. Its main uses are in furniture, flooring, millwork, moulding, and barrel staves. 
• Hickory: Massively important to eastern hardwood forests, Hickory is the heaviest of the American hardwoods and is extremely strong. It is often used for tool handles, wooden ladders, sporting goods, and cabinetry.
• White Ash: Most common uses are in furniture, tool handles, and flooring. White ash is characterized by a straight medium to coarse texture and ranges from light to medium brown.
• Beech:  Very pliable for a hardwood, Beech is typically pale cream with pink or brown hues. This species is often used for veneer, flooring, crates, and wood turning.
• Yellow Poplar: One of the most versatile hardwoods, poplar is easy to machine, plane, turn, glue, and bore. It holds paint, enamel, and stain well, and can be used in light construction, doors, paneling, moulding, and furniture.
• Cherry: Cherry is a beautiful wood with a rich red to brown color. It is often easy to machine and provides an excellent, smooth finish. Cherry is most used in fine furniture and cabinet making, and can be found on the interior of boats and musical instruments.

As you can see, Appalachian hardwoods make up some of the best in the world, and at Select Hardwoods, we ensure that we are sourcing from sustainably managed forests.
