Planed Softwood Timber 38x100mm (1.5 x 4 inch) finished size 32x94mm

Planed Softwood Timber in 38×100mm, finished size 32×94mm, is a smooth, easy-to-work-with option for interior joinery and feature pieces. If appearance matters, this timber provides a clean, splinter-free surface ready for staining, oils or lacquers. Planed timber is sawn timber that has been planed down until smooth. It’s commonly referred to as PSE (Planed Square Edge) when only the main faces are planed, or PAR (Planed All Round) when all faces are planed for a fully smooth finish. PAR surfaces tend to be more costly due to the extra planing, but they’re preferred where every side is visible. Our 38×100mm planed timber finishes to 32×94mm, making it suitable for internal joinery and visible details. It’s produced from softwood, which machines easily and accepts most finishes. The timber is completely smooth and splinter-free, providing a high-quality look without extra prep work. It can be left natural or treated to enhance durability and appearance. Key uses include shelving, interior features, window joinery such as sash elements, and furniture projects where a neat, uniform finish is important. While primarily for interior use, softwood timber can be used externally provided it is treated with an appropriate preservative or exterior finish and maintained over time to resist moisture and weathering. Length options range from 0.9m up to 4.2m, giving you flexibility for short sections or longer runs without excessive joins. Our range is selected to balance affordability with reliable quality, helping you stay on budget on both small fabrications and larger builds.
