Hemlock Softwood Timber

HEMLOCK – AN EXCELLENT, STABLE, LOW PRICED TIMBER

clear softwood maybee hemlock

PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes)

Softwood, Hemlock, Tsuga heteruphylla

Please note if FSC/PEFC certified wood is required
please specify at time of placing an order.

Hemlock is a North American species that is commonly used for a range of general joinery purposes including beams, flooring, exterior trims and sidings, furniture, joists, panelling, parquet floors and cabinet making.

Colour and Grain
The heartwood is white to yellow brown with the sapwood paler than the heartwood but often unable to be differentiated. Hemlock generally has a straight and even grain with clear growth rings and a fine texture. It has a lustrous finish but is non-durable unless treated.

Drying Characteristics
It Kiln dries slowly because of its high moisture content, but seasons well. Hemlock can be air-seasoned or kiln dried to minimise degradation. Drying defects may occur including uneven moisture content, warping and chemical stains. Ease of drying is moderate. It should be resin free and odourless when properly dried. It should have a high dimensional stability when properly dried.
All Illingworth Ingham’s Hemlock is kiln-dried.

Very Good Finishing Qualities
Hemlock’s general finishing qualities are good, provided it is properly dried. It can be painted, stained, varnished and polished all with good results.

Workability
Hemlock has good nail holding properties and has very good resistance to splitting when nailed. It also has very good screwing properties and a good screw holding ability. It can be glued with ease too.

Machinability
It is very easy to machine and mould and planes to a good finish. Surfaces may scratch or dent however, due to the softness of the wood. It is a moderate weight.

CHARACTERISTICS OF HEMLOCK
Density:     700 - 750 kg/m3
Durability: Very little resistance to decay so needs proper and adequate protection.
Stability:    High dimensional stability. Highly rated for its stability under different moisture conditions.
