Planed Softwood Timber in 19x100mm (0.75 x 4 inch) rough size, finished to 14x94mm, is a smooth, easy-to-work-with timber ideal for interior joinery and visible projects. Crafted for tradespeople and builders who want a reliable timber that finishes cleanly and takes stains, oils or lacquers well.

What it is

This timber is commonly referred to as Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR). PSE has planed surfaces on two faces and edges, while PAR is planed on all sides, delivering a uniform, smooth appearance suitable for where every surface may be visible. PAR tends to be more costly due to the additional planing, but it provides a consistently polished look on all faces.
