There is an upcharge for specified lengths. The upcharge is incorporated in the price you see online. See the table below for upcharges. The customer also pays for additional footage (overpull) needed to pull specified lengths.
| Category | 3' -14' | 15' -16' |
| Traditional | 20% | 30% |
| Embossed | 20% | 30% |
| MonReale | 30% | 40% |
| Adornment Lineals | 10% when specifying all 8' lengths
Lineals only |
Adornments Hand-Carved Lineals - produced from 8' FAS lumber with minimal dime-size knots; lengths are end trimmed to 96" - 97".
Adornments Traditional Moulding - These are moulder produced, without carving or decorative enhancements. (i.e. Maple and Cherry: MLD5868, MLD5974). These mouldings are produced from 8' FAS Hardwoods with minimal cut-backs. 7'9" + is tallied as 8'. Any order over 8 pieces may include 2 pieces that equal 8' (4'+4', 3'+5'). Requesting all 8' pieces is subject to a 10% upcharge.
The following example would be subject to specified-length charges: 3 pcs 8' CA37POP. The following example is NOT subject to specified-length charges: 24' CA37POP, ship FedEx. This order would be pulled random length with no upcharge. Normally, we will ship 6' - 8' lengths to fill this order.

15' & 16' Policy for Mon Reale, Ornamentally Embossed & Traditional Mouldings
The 15' & 16' lengths are considered premium, there is a 30% upcharge (40% on Mon Reale). Specified lengths are subject to that length being available in current inventory. White River Hardwoods does not set up and run specified lengths when there is standing inventory. Processing specified-length orders requires opening bundles to pull those lengths. If lengths are not available, we pull the longer lengths required to fill the order. The moulding is then tallied and bundled for shipping. The extra moulding that has been pulled has to be retallied, bundled and restocked. This is a time-consuming process. The standard 30% (40% Mon Reale) upcharge is enough to cover the labor, to reasonably pull the desired lengths, not to cover the additional footage needed to get the order. A reasonable attempt will be made to pull the order to desired lengths, but overages of an additional 10-20% may occur.
Hardwood mouldings are produced from lumber that is 65% 12'-16' lengths, allowing White River Hardwoods to produce stock moulding in long lengths (overall 3'-16'). All hardwood mouldings are precision machined with Weinig Moulders using Weinig Knife Tooling.
Tallying Policy
This industry-standard policy will allow customers to correctly receive the stock that is pulled to meet their orders. All mouldings are tallied to the nearest foot. For example, if the actual length is 11'5", the tallied length is 11'. If the actual length is 11'7", the tallied length is 12'. If the actual length is 11'6", the tallied length is 11'.
