Cut to Size / Planed Canadian Larch Wood
The sapwood is narrow and white in colour and the heartwood is pale with a pink hue. After drying, the wood assumes a uniform tone, but after long exposure to the weather the colour is lost, and the wood becomes silver-grey. The weathered appearance is sometimes purposely sought by architects, but a further peculiarity is its ability to take and hold stain of the finest without discolouration.
Ordering Canadian Larch Timber
Ordering Canadian Larch timber from Timbersource is a perfect choice for anybody requiring a wood that is cost effective and suitable for cladding. It is non-resinous, straight-grained and has a coarse texture. Canadian Larch is light weight and contains frequent small knots which can cause tearing in planning and moulding.

How do I finish Canadian Larch?
Canadian Larch can be left unfinished to weather naturally to a silvery-grey color. However, if you prefer to maintain its original pale-pink color, you can apply a clear wood preservative or a stain.
For a high-quality and natural finish, we recommend Rubio Monocoat. It enhances the beauty of the wood while providing excellent protection.
Before applying any finish, be sure to clean the Larch thoroughly and allow it to dry completely. Always test the finish on a hidden area first to ensure you're happy with the results.
