The Snowdon Timber Untreated Reject Eased Edge Timber is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and woodworkers looking for cost-effective, structural-grade softwood for indoor projects. These 18mm x 90mm x 2400mm boards offer reliable strength for furniture building, shelving, and cladding, though users should note that as part of the 'reject' range, each board carries unique natural character marks, knots, or slight imperfections that may require finishing for a uniform appearance.

No, this is untreated softwood and is intended strictly for indoor use. Outdoor exposure will lead to rot and decay.
It means the boards did not meet the aesthetic standards for high-grade furniture wood, often due to knots, slight marks, or irregular grain patterns.
Yes, once sanded and primed, this timber takes paint and wood stains very well.
The wood is planed, which may result in minor variations, but it is sold as 18mm x 90mm x 2400mm.
Standard DIY tools like a handsaw, miter saw, or circular saw are perfectly capable of cutting this softwood.
While the boards are smooth-planed, light sanding is recommended to achieve a professional finish, especially where knots are present.
Use a medium-grit sandpaper (120-grit) followed by a fine-grit (220-grit) to smooth out knots and natural marks.
Store boards flat in a dry, cool area away from direct heat sources to help prevent further movement before installation.
Before starting your project, ensure the timber is acclimated to the indoor environment for at least 24 hours to minimize potential warping. When cutting, always use sharp blades to maintain clean lines, and ensure you wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Because this wood is untreated, it is vital to apply a protective sealant, wood stain, or paint if you plan to install it in areas subject to humidity, such as a bathroom or kitchen. Avoid using this timber in ground-contact or exterior applications, as the lack of preservative treatment means it will decay rapidly when exposed to moisture.
