Wood You Believe It? Jubilee Specialty Woods Opens in Summerdale

November 13, 2025 | Summerdale, AL — Jubilee Specialty Woods, a leading provider of premium domestic, imported and exotic hardwoods for both wholesale and retail customers, is thrilled to celebrate its opening in Summerdale, Alabama!

At this new site, the company continues its commitment to offering one of the largest selections of high-grade hardwood lumber in the region, with on-site milling and rapid custom order turnarounds. According to the company’s product information, “We do all of our milling on-site, which gives us an extremely fast and efficient service.” By locating in Summerdale, Jubilee Specialty Woods positions itself at a highly accessible and central point within Baldwin County, making it easier for customers across the Gulf Coast to reach the facility. The Beach Express location allows convenient access from multiple directions, ensuring that hobbyist woodworkers, professional carpenters, and custom furniture makers alike benefit from the move.

The company’s retail operations are well-established. Since 2017 the business has served individual woodworkers in addition to wholesale clients, maintaining a vast inventory divided into three main categories—Domestic Hardwoods, Imported Hardwoods, and Softwoods. Current offerings include kiln-dried rough cut boards in multiple thicknesses and widths, and customers are invited to visit the facility to personally select boards or place custom mill orders.

"Jubilee began as a concept..." says Dick Buchanan, Owner of Jubilee Specialty Woods. "We began as Buchanan Lumber in Mobile, where we were wholesale only. We moved to Baldwin County to be closer to our customers, where we bought this 37-acre piece of property on the Baldwin Beach Express and we couldn't be more proud of where we are today! We are turning into a retail destination for woodworkers and retail builders alike."

With this new Summerdale site, Jubilee Specialty Woods reinforces its mission to supply high-quality lumber with flexible service. The company invites prospective customers to visit, explore the inventory, and experience the convenience of its new location. The team looks forward to welcoming both veteran woodworkers and those new to the craft into this expanded facility.
