Wood is an ideal building material – it’s strong, durable, versatile, can be used both inside and out and is inherently beautiful. There are countless varieties of woods, each with its own distinctive charm.
We stock four species of hardwood: Sapele, Oak, Ash and Beech.
About Sapele:
Also known as Scented Mahogany, Sapele is a hardwood of medium texture with a high lustre. It is available as a pale yellow sapwood and light red to dark reddish brown heartwood. With its high lustre, Sapele is often used for cabinetry, panelling and decorative veneers. |

About Oak:
With outstanding wear-resistance, Oak is straight-grained with a medium-coarse to coarse texture, prominent rays and open pores. Light tan-coloured heartwood with narrow, nearly white sapwood are features of this timber. Oak is naturally resistant to decay and is popular in furniture making.

About Ash:
Available as Black or White Ash, this is generally a straight-grained wood with a coarse texture. Colour-wise it varies from a pale-brown heartwood and almost white sapwood to a greyish brown heartwood and light brown sapwood. Its easy workability makes Ash ideal for joinery applications. |

About Beech:
A warm pale wood, Beech is a straight-grained wood with broad rays, and a fine, even texture. Its colour is a pale cream to pinkish brown heartwood that darkens to a pale reddish brown. Stiff and shock-resistant, Beech is commonly used in counter tops and furniture.
