Metsä Wood - Smooth Planed Whitewood Spruce Stick Timber - 2.4M - 119mm - 18mm

This is Whitewood Spruce stick timber, known for being lightweight and easy to work with.

This timber is not treated for outdoor use. If used outdoors, it would require appropriate weather-resistant treatments, stains, or paints to prevent decay and damage from moisture and UV exposure.

Smooth Planed means the timber has been machined to a smooth, uniform surface, making it ready for use or for applying a finish without extensive preparation.

PSE stands for Planed Square Edge. It indicates that the timber has been precision machined on all four sides to ensure straight, square edges, making it easier to join and assemble pieces accurately.

Store the timber flat, off the ground, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature changes. This helps prevent warping and twisting.

While it has a smooth planed finish, a light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper before applying any paint, stain, or varnish is recommended for optimal adhesion and a smoother final result.

Yes, Whitewood Spruce takes paint and stain well. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded for the best finish.

Wood screws or nails are suitable for assembly. Always consider drilling pilot holes for screws to prevent splitting, especially near edges.

Ensure proper storage conditions in a dry, stable environment. Allow timber to acclimate to your project's environment for several days before cutting and assembly. For minor warps, careful clamping and fastening during assembly can help.

Use a sharp, clean saw blade designed for wood. Ensure the timber is securely clamped during cutting to prevent movement. Apply steady, consistent pressure.

Always pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than your screw diameter, especially near the ends or edges of the timber. Choose appropriate screw lengths and gauges for the timber thickness.

Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and lightly sanded (with fine-grit sandpaper) before applying any finish. Apply finishes in thin, even coats, following product instructions.
