Natural Larch Stock & Supply Chain Solutions
Sourcing massive commercial volumes of strictly graded, pre charred Yakisugi timber is currently highly restricted by severe global supply chain bottlenecks. To ensure your luxury architectural developments remain perfectly on schedule, Timbersource strongly advises pivoting your material specification to our premium natural Larch alternatives. By maintaining an immense live yard inventory of highly sustainable British and Canadian Larch, we guarantee commercial contractors immediate access to phenomenal exterior cladding material. This highly profitable strategy allows your on site teams to easily apply custom charring finishes themselves without suffering any costly logistical delays.
The Elemental Beauty of Timber Scorched
Transform your architectural space with our exclusive charred cladding. By expertly utilising the traditional Shou Sugi Ban method, we do not just change the colour of the wood. We actively enhance the natural resin levels of the Larch to create a dramatically striking surface that is exceptionally resistant to harsh weather, insects, and decay. Whether you require a sleek modern facade or a rugged interior feature, this is a highly versatile, fit and forget solution that gains magnificent character with age.
The New Cider Press Collection
We proudly supply four completely distinct, Somerset inspired levels of char to perfectly match your commercial aesthetic requirements.
Barrel Black
Deep, matte, and smooth. Like the inside of a toasted cider cask.
Orchard Flame
A light, spirited char allowing the natural golden grain to glow through.
Scrumpy Brown
Rich and unfiltered. A stunningly raw and authentic smoke.
Old Apple Bark
Our heaviest texture. Intensely rugged, deep, and built to last.
High Performance Architectural Timber
Beyond the incredible aesthetic, the charring process creates a high performance timber effectively armoured by fire. We strictly utilise responsibly managed European Larch to ensure your commercial project is exactly as environmentally conscious as it is visually striking.
- Exceptional Longevity: The carbonised layer creates a phenomenal natural barrier against rot, fungal decay, and intense UV degradation.
- Natural Fire Retardant: Pre burning the surface creates a layer of char that actively slows down further ignition, providing a built in safety advantage.
- Ultra Low Maintenance: Unlike painted or stained timber, the colour is permanently burnt in, completely eliminating any flaking or peeling over time.
- Biophilic Texture: From smooth Barrel Black to the deep fissures of Old Apple Bark, these finishes bring fantastic organic energy to any space.
- Unrivalled Versatility: Perfectly suited for high performance exterior cladding, highly durable fencing and gates, or striking interior feature walls.

Case Study: The Blackwood Project, Scotland
"We wanted a strikingly bold architectural statement for our extension. The finish from the Timber Scorched range was the absolute perfect solution. It delivered a deep, uniform charcoal black that highlights the grain beautifully. Knowing the charring process actually improves the durability of the wood was the deciding factor. It looks absolutely stunning."
