Rough Wood Surfacing and Processing Services
At The Fine Grainery, we offer expert rough wood processing services to help you prepare your wood for your next project. Whether you’re working with wood you already own or purchasing rough lumber locally, our services ensure that your materials are professionally surfaced and ready to use—without the need to invest in expensive equipment.
Surfacing Services and Pricing
Our rough wood processing services are priced at $1 per minute or $60 per hour (half hour/$30 minimum), making it a cost-effective solution for all your woodworking needs. Services must be scheduled in advance, and drop-off and pick-up are required.
Available Surfacing Options:
S1S (Surface One Side):
A single side is surfaced using a helical head jointer to create a flat face.
S2S (Surface Two Sides):
Both the top and bottom are surfaced for consistent thickness along the length. A jointer is used for one face, followed by a planer for the opposing face.
For widths wider than 8", skip planing is available for S2S only.
S3S (Surface Three Sides):
Includes surfacing the top, bottom, and one edge. A jointer is used for one face and one edge, while a planer finishes the opposing face.
S4S (Surface All Four Sides):
Fully square and dimensioned boards. One face and edge are flattened with a jointer, the opposing face is planed, and the opposite edge is ripped with a table saw.

Surfaces will require sanding after processing to achieve a finished look.
