Sizing Information
Sizing Information
Timber is a natural product and as such can vary in colour from a pale white/magenta colour, to a deep biscuit brown colour. We always aim to match boards as best we can, but can never make guarantees.
Timber can contain a varied grain and will contain small knots and cracks. Our boards are always supplied planed both faces, however the underside can contain missed spots in order to maintain thickness, this is standard practise.
We always leave our boards longer than required to allow for trimming off.
