Statewide Reach From Our Gainesville Yard
CAG Specialty Wood is based at 4050 Old Cornelia Hwy, Gainesville, GA 30507, about 180 miles from Columbus, about 3 hours by road. That's outside our standard local delivery radius, so we work with Columbus customers two ways: shipping finished orders directly, or coordinating extended-area hauling for larger jobs.
We already ship to contractors and makers across the country, so getting furniture-grade lumber, slabs, or milled material to the Columbus area is a routine order for us, not a special case.
Areas near Columbus we regularly ship to or work with:
Fort MoorePhenix CityMidlandFortsonLaGrangeSpecialty Wood for Columbus's Builders and Makers
Columbus and the surrounding west Georgia and east Alabama area, Phenix City, Midland, Fortson, have a steady base of custom builders and furniture makers who regularly run up against the same limitation: the specialty lumber and live-edge slabs that separate a custom piece from a big-box build simply aren't stocked locally in depth. CAG Specialty Wood, a family-owned lumber yard in Gainesville, ships to Columbus-area customers routinely, closing that gap without requiring a trip across the state.
Columbus sits well outside our standard 60-mile local delivery radius, so most orders ship, using kiln-dried lumber and slabs stable enough to travel the distance without moving or cracking. Contractors and cabinet shops building a standing supply relationship get extended-area hauling quoted directly, while customers who want to choose a specific slab for a countertop or table in person still make the trip north, treating it like sourcing any other specialty material.
Columbus Customer Questions
Do you ship to Columbus?
Yes. We regularly ship lumber, slabs, and milled orders to Columbus and the surrounding area. Contact us for a shipping quote based on your order.
Do you deliver to Columbus by truck?
Columbus is outside our standard 60-mile local hauling radius, but we coordinate extended-area delivery for larger orders. Contact us for a rate.
How far is CAG Specialty Wood from Columbus?
About 180 miles, about 3 hours by road from Columbus to our Gainesville yard.
Can I have wood milled or kiln dried without buying from your stock?
Yes. You can ship your own lumber or slabs to us for kiln drying, flattening, resawing, planing, or straight-lining, then have it shipped back.
Is it worth the drive to visit the yard in person?
Many Columbus-area customers still make the trip to hand-select a specific slab for a countertop, table, or mantel. The selection is the main reason customers travel from across the state.
Do you work with contractors and cabinet shops on standing orders?
Yes, including customers well outside our local delivery area. Contact us to set up a recurring shipping arrangement.
