Sawn Timber
British Larch Sawn Timber
Larch, European Larix decidua
Homegrown larch is a sustainable timber and offers excellent value. Fresh sawn, this species is perfect for structural work, roofing and cladding. It can also be used for furniture, flooring and joinery work, but the knot ratio should be considered when selecting the right pieces of timber.
A good all-rounder, British Larch ranges from a warm yellow to a reddish-brown colour. Flatsawn sections can be full of character, with interesting patterns in the growth rings. The high resin ratio in larch make it a durable timber. It has a medium to fine texture, a straight or spiral grain and knots are common but generally small.
