With its heartwood displaying a spectrum of yellow to medium reddish-brown hues, along with contrasting white sapwood, this larch delivers distinctive aesthetic appeal. The flatsawn sections are particularly striking, showcasing unique growth ring patterns and small knots that add character. Its straight or spiraled grain, coupled with a medium to fine texture, offers a pleasant tactile experience, reminiscent of its oily, greasy feel.
Renowned for its moderate durability against decay, larch is suited for diverse applications, from construction lumber and fences to utility poles and even boatbuilding. Prior to using this timber for internal projects, please note that exposure to moisture content will require specific drying procedures, which can be arranged upon request.
As a naturally occurring product, some warping, checking, or splitting is to be expected over time. To facilitate smooth project execution, consider ordering 10% more wood than necessary, particularly for cladding applications. While this larch is easy to work with, care should be taken during machining to manage the natural resin that can affect cutting tools.
Rest assured, this sustainably sourced wood species is considered of least concern by the IUCN, making it an environmentally friendly choice for your construction needs. Embrace the unique qualities of larch, and elevate your outdoor projects today with our cut-to-order timber.
