FAQs

What does 'PSE' stand for in relation to this timber?

PSE stands for Planed Square Edge. It means the timber has been machined smooth on all four sides and has clean, square edges, making it ready for immediate use.

Is this timber suitable for outdoor use?

No, this PSE Redwood Timber is intended for interior joinery applications only. It is not treated for outdoor exposure and would likely degrade or warp if used externally.

Can I paint or varnish this timber?

Yes, this redwood timber takes paint and varnish very well. Ensure the surface is clean and dust-free before application for the best results.

What is the best way to store this timber?

Store the timber flat in a dry, well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, to maintain its shape and prevent warping.

How many pieces of timber are included in this pack?

This pack contains 5 pieces of planed square edge redwood timber.

What are the dimensions of each piece of timber?

Each piece of timber in this pack measures 38mm in thickness and 150mm in width, with a length of 1200mm.

Do I need to sand this timber before use?

The timber is planed square edge, meaning it already has a smooth finish. While you might do a light sanding for specific finishes, it's generally ready for use without significant sanding.

Troubleshooting

Timber appears slightly warped upon arrival.

Ensure timber is stored flat in a controlled environment for 48-72 hours to acclimatize. If warping persists and is significant, contact the supplier.

Cutting leads to splintering.

Use sharp woodworking blades. Ensure the blade is appropriate for softwood and set at the correct angle. Make a scoring cut first for cleaner edges.

Finish is uneven after staining or varnishing.

Ensure the timber surface is clean and free from dust. Pre-condition the wood with a wood conditioner before applying stain, especially if using a very dark colour, to ensure even absorption.
