North American



Ash, American
Cream - white colour with a course grain, ideal furniture timber especially when stained as it looks very similar to Oak. Graded for its white sapwood, but has darker olive coloured heartwood.
 

Cherry, American
Fine straight close grain timber. The heartwood varying in colour from reddish-brown to rich red. The sapwood being yellow. Fine, narrow, brown - coloured pith flecks and small gum pockets are a common feature.
 

Maple, American Hard
Hard maple is strong, heavy, hard, and straight grained with a fine texture. The colour is cream with fine red/brown bands.
 

Oak, American Red
Pale brown with a pink tinge, very hard to tell the difference between Red and White Oak. The growth rings are a little further apart which gives a more pronounced grain.
 

Oak, American White
American White Oak is a timber that has been used for generations, and it is just as popular today as it was 50 years ago.
 

Walnut, American Black
The heartwood is varying in colour from rich chocolate-brown to purplish-black. The sapwood is pale brown, however, the timber is generally steamed before drying which darkens the sapwood to the heartwood colouring. The timber has a fine even texture with a rather coarse grain.
 

Western Red Cedar
A Premium durable timber known for its superior stability, for doors, windows, louvers, exterior cladding, shakes and shingles, nothing performs as well as Western Red Cedar in these situations.
 

Yellow Cedar
This beautiful yellow timber is more durable and denser than Red Cedar but not as stable. A great alternative for exterior building applications.
