18mm x 130mm is the most efficient size for the majority of our profiles as we stock packs of 1 inch by 6 inch boards
Siberian Larch, it’s durable, natural-looking and doesn’t need treatment
European Beech, it’s usually used for smaller, more intricate projects
Redwood Pine, it has several internal uses including cladding, skirting and furniture
Rough-sawn timbers should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. It is also important to keep them off the ground and away from any sources of heat to protect the timber from warping or splitting.What are rough-sawn timbers?
Working with rough-sawn timbers requires a range of tools, such as saws, chisels, drills, planes, hammers and sanders. It is important to use the correct tools and techniques to ensure the timber is cut and shaped correctly.
Rough-sawn timbers should be regularly cleaned and maintained to ensure they last a long time. Regularly sweeping or vacuuming the boards to remove any dirt or debris and using wood conditioners or sealants to protect the wood from moisture and UV radiation can help extend the life of the timber.
The cost of rough-sawn timbers depends on the type of timber used and the size of the boards. Generally, softwood rough-sawn timbers are cheaper than hardwood rough-sawn timbers. The cost also varies depending on the supplier.
The main disadvantage of using rough-sawn timbers is that they are not as uniform in size and shape as planed timbers. They also require more skilled craftsmanship and tools to work with, which can add to the cost.
The main advantage of using rough-sawn timbers is that they have a unique aesthetic appeal. They have a rustic, natural look that is not achievable with planed timbers. They are also cheaper than planed timbers, making them a more cost-effective option.
Rough-sawn timbers are often used in carpentry and construction projects, such as building frames, decks, fences, furniture and staircases. They are also commonly used in landscape projects, such as retaining walls, raised beds and pathways.
Softwoods such as pine, spruce and fir are the most common types of timber used for rough-sawn timbers. Hardwoods such as oak, walnut and mahogany can also be used, but are more expensive and require more skilled craftsmanship.
Rough-sawn timbers have a rough, uneven surface with saw marks still visible. Planed timbers have a smooth, even surface that has been machined to remove any saw marks or imperfections. Planed timbers are also more uniform in size and shape than rough-sawn timbers.
Rough-sawn timbers are timber products made from logs that have been cut into rough shapes and sizes. They are usually made from softwood such as pine or spruce, but can also be made from hardwood such as oak or walnut. The logs are cut into boards of different widths and lengths, and the surface of the board is left in its natural state, with the saw marks still visible.
Timber is still traditionally cut or planked into imperial measurements by the sawmills so; 25, 32, 38, 50, 63, 75 & 100mm are common stock sizes for most of our sawn timbers
Around 200mm – anything wider might need to be jointed to width, however timbers like Iroko, Sapele and poplar are usually available in wider pieces
All timber has value and the smaller sections are ideal for those smaller projects such as furniture. We keep plenty of shorter sections up to 1.5m
We use a mixture of both and all of our timber is European Union Timber Regulation compliant
We can smart-source timber from our trusted supply network and sawmills, usually within 5 – 7 working days
We can supply fresh sawn and air dried European Oak beams and British Douglas Fir beams cut to size or planed, usually within 2 – 3 weeks
This is quite common for large timber merchants but we are the exeption where you can choose and buy a single board as we don’t have a Minimum Order Quantity
We offer a plantation grown sustainable teak from Ghana. We stock waney-edge sawn boards in 25mm & 50mm thickness, 2.3m long and ranging from around 100 – 200mm width, or can machine to specific sizes
Iroko is the top choice for durability, availability and attractiveness (it can range from a golden yellow to a dark brown when planed, even within the same piece
Sapele is a porous external timber that holds paint very well
Redwood Pine is lightweight, stable and easy to paint
American Oak is lighter and generally used for internal panelling, skirting and architrave whilst European Oak is slightly darker and denser, with more varied uses internally and externally
Canadian Cedar is more durable and aesthetically pleasing, with a reddish-orange colour, whilst British Cedar is more pale and heavily-knotted but more cost-effective
Most timber will “silver-down” over the course of it’s life with constant exposure to natural light
North American Douglas Fir is a naturally durable timber and does not need to be treated. The same applies for Iroko, Sapele, Siberian Larch and Canadian Cedar, though you can apply a UV-protection oil to help keep the timber’s natural colour
We can cut rough sawn boards to width or plane them smooth, as well as make jointed worktops and add moulding or cladding profiles
7 – 10 working days is standard but we offer a rapid PAR service in 3-5 working days and express services are available for urgent projects
We can cut your timber to an exact length you specify. On linear and square metre orders you may find you get the total coverage in increments of the full board length.
Various Tongue & Groove options including V-grooves and Shadow Gaps, as well as Half Laps and Featheredge
Typically the minimum you should plane off is 3mm in each pass either side which would mean 6mm overall off the sawn sizes. We allow for minimum 6mm in thickness and 10mm in width to make sure it is straight.
