Planed Softwood Timber 19x150mm (0.75 x 6 inch) finished size 14x144mm

Planed Softwood Timber 19x150mm, finished size 14x144mm, is a smooth, ready‑to‑work timber designed for interior joinery and visible surfaces where a clean, sourced-from-sawmill finish matters.

What you get when you choose planed timber is timber that has been sawn and then planed on all surfaces. Planed Square Edge (PSE) timber has edges planed square for neat, tight joints, while Planed All Round (PAR) timber is planed on all faces, giving a uniform, splinter‑free finish on every side. PAR tends to be more costly because every surface is shown; PSE is commonly used where some faces may be hidden but straight, smooth edges remain important.

Our 19x150mm planed timber delivers a consistently smooth, splinter‑free surface suitable for a wide range of projects. The finished size of 14x144mm provides a dependable, uniform profile for joinery, shelving and feature pieces, with a timber aesthetic that takes stains, oils and lacquers well. Being softwood, it is easy to work with using standard hand or power tools and a finish of your choice will enhance its natural warmth.

Lengths available range from 0.9m up to 4.2m, giving you flexibility to minimise joins on longer runs or to match exact project requirements. This makes the timber suitable for interior applications such as shelving, cabinet components, window frames and the visible parts of furniture, as well as decorative elements where a smooth, refined finish is preferred.

External use is possible if the timber is properly treated and protected against the elements. Softwoods are more prone to moisture ingress, so choosing an appropriate preservative or finish is important when timber is exposed to weather or high humidity. Inside, it responds well to standard finishes and can be tuned to a wide range of looks—from natural oils to coloured stains or clear lacquers.

Practical tips: acclimatise timber before fitting, seal ends to reduce moisture uptake, and use compatible finishes for exterior or interior use. When planning, consider the finished size to ensure your joins align accurately, and measure for the supported load or display requirements if used for shelving or furniture.
