Botanical name: Tsuga heterophylla
Common name: Western Hemlock
Origin: North America
Western Hemlock is a pale, fine-textured softwood commonly used for joinery, mouldings and machined timber products. It has a generally straight grain and a clean, uniform appearance, making it well suited to painted or stained finishes.
Hemlock machines cleanly, takes fixings well and provides a stable, workable timber for internal joinery and manufacturing. It is often selected where a smooth finish and consistent quality are required.
Typical uses: mouldings, doors, windows, stair parts, internal joinery, panelling, furniture components and machined sections.
