Where to Shop for Specialty Hardwoods from Bob Kloes

Updated

Bob Kloes points specialty hardwood buyers to a separate site: Kloes Specialty Hardwoods. That is the place to browse a detailed selection of hardwoods sourced from the Midwest and beyond. Use it if you are a woodworker, furniture maker, or buyer looking for figured and specialty lumber rather than finished furniture.

The Two Sides of Bob Kloes' Work

Bob Kloes' main site serves two distinct purposes, and knowing which one you need saves time.

What you want Where to go What you'll find
Custom figured wood furniture Bob Kloes (bobkloes.com) Custom furniture work, past projects, and a way to start a project inquiry
Specialty hardwoods Kloes Specialty Hardwoods A browsable selection of hardwoods from the Midwest and beyond

The main site describes the furniture side as "custom figured wood furniture, handcrafted in America." The hardwood side is deliberately split off onto its own shop, linked from the main page under "Interested in Specialty Hardwoods?"

How to Get to the Hardwood Shop

  1. Start on the Bob Kloes homepage.
  2. Find the section headed "Interested in Specialty Hardwoods?"
  3. Follow the Shop link, which takes you to Kloes Specialty Hardwoods.
  4. Browse the selection there for the specific species or figure you need.

The homepage does not list individual boards, prices, or inventory. All of that lives on the specialty hardwoods site, so treat the main page as a signpost rather than a catalog.

What If You Want Furniture Instead of Lumber?

If your interest is a finished piece rather than raw wood, the path is different. The homepage has a "Looking for Info about a Project?" section that invites you to reach out for more information about furniture projects and general inquiries. Use the Get in Touch link for that.

You can also review Past Work & Projects first if you want a sense of the style and range before making contact.

Following Along

Bob Kloes links to social media from the homepage, including an Instagram profile under the handle kloesspecialtyhardwoods. That is a reasonable place to watch for new hardwood offerings or finished work if you want updates without repeatedly checking the shop.

Quick Answer

  • For specialty hardwoods: go to Kloes Specialty Hardwoods, reached via the "Shop" link on bobkloes.com.
  • For custom furniture or project questions: use the "Get in Touch" link on the main site.
  • For a sense of prior work: browse "Past Work & Projects" before reaching out.

The site itself does not publish pricing or ordering details on the homepage, so confirm availability, species, and terms directly through the hardwood shop or by making contact.
