The following is a page of helpful explanatory notes and advice
on our products and how to order them.
Glossary of terms
Botanical Name – This is the only definitive way to name a
timber. Vernacular and trade names are notoriously inaccurate
in this regard. It is also possible to assume some familial
similarities between timbers in the same genus.
Density – We give the densities of the timbers in kilograms
per cubic meter. Water has a density of 1000kg/m3 so any
timber with a higher density than that will sink in water.
The density of the timber can be used as a rough measure of
hardness, strength and comparative workability of a timber.
Two square Edged – Most imported timbers come to us
sawn with two square edges. This saves on shipping space and
excludes bark dwelling insects. It can normally be assumed
that most objectionable defects such as sapwood, heart shake,
ring shake and most knots will also have been removed.
One square edged – Some larger logs are sawn this way for
the convenience of the sawmill and to make the boards easier
to handle. The log is first sawn down the middle and then each
half log is milled to boards square to the original sawn face
leaving one edge square and one edge waney. It can be
assumed that some objectionable defects will be present.
Through And Through – A simple milling method typically
used in the cutting of smaller diameter logs. Planks are sawn in
sequence from the ‘crown’ of the log and have two waney
edges. All objectionable defects are are still present.
Squared logs – A method sometimes used to present small
exotic timber logs. Four faces are cut around the log to
remove worthless sapwood and to expose the beauty of the
wood within. This method also stops the logs from rolling
about during shipment.
Cylinders – Lathe turned logs with most of the sapwood
removed. A method normally associated with Lignum Vitae.
Flitch – A trimmed up portion of a log usually of heavy
section produced with the intention of further conversion into
veneer or more finely wrought pieces of solid material.
Dimension Stock – 2 Square edged boards or squares sawn to
fixed sizes suitable for specific purposes.
150mm wide and wider, 1900mm long and longer – an
indication of board size that is self-explanatory. It can be
assumed that a smaller minimum specification will also indicate
a smaller maximum board size.
Part Seasoned – The wood is in the course of being air dried
and would require further drying to be reliable for any use.
Kiln Dried – The wood has been subjected to one of several
different drying procedures that leave it with a moisture
content suitable for interior work.
Air Dried – The wood has reached the end of the natural
seasoning process and will have moisture content perfect for
exterior work but for interior work will need extra drying in a
kiln or an acclimatisation period inside a heated room to make
it reliable in service.
M3 – Cubic meter – a volumetric measure of timber useful
in large transactions but a big unfriendly unit of measure for
small transactions.
Ft3 – Cubic foot – a traditional imperial volumetric measure
of timber that remains in use because it is user friendly for
small transactions. There are 35.315 Ft3 to the M3.
Ft2 – Square foot – M2 Square meter– an imperial measure
and a metric measure we use for veneer and thin stock.
There are 10.78 Ft2 to the M2.
Kg – Kilogram – some timbers are sold by weight because
an accurate measure of volume is not practical.

most intense colouration.
Reputed to go brown over time, this is certainly the case but
the process is really quite slow and the wood stays purple for
many years.
Popular for woodturning, archery bows and for detail in
cabinet work.

Deep purple brown, reddish brown, sometimes greenish
brown, more or less striped, hard and heavy.
Bloodwood satine is an even bright strawberry red to blood
red in colour. It is very hard with a coconut scent when
worked, and takes a natural glassy finish.
Sonokeling is the same tree as Indian rosewood but differs,
presumably because it is plantation grown, in having a broader
colour range and being a little less hard and dense.
Satine is often seen as a veneer or inlay timber in antique
furniture, particularly Boulle work, and in those days was used
for similar purposes as Brazilian tulipwood.

BOXMAKER’S WOOD
Call it what you will – it does not have to be for boxes.
This popular item arose from the need to supply wood in
thicknesses of less than 26mm for a multitude of special
purposes. It is quite rare to find rough sawn lumber under this
thickness because of the difficulty keeping the wood flat and
straight through the drying process.
This stock is re-sawn from thick material that has already been
fully dried, and then accurately drum sanded to the range of
thicknesses listed below. For practical reasons the range of
lengths is normally 800 – 1200mm and the range of widths is
normally 100 – 175mm. Sizes beyond these can be produced
to special order subject to an acceptable order size.
There are five thicknesses to choose from and three price
bands, prices are per square foot. The timbers listed below are
normally available from stock, other timbers can be produced
to order subject to an acceptable order size.

Tip – Hot glue veneering in a nutshell.
The Glue – Improvise a glue pot using an old saucepan and a
clean jam jar. Put 25mm of pearl glue into the jar, bring up to
the 50mm level with cold water and allow it to stand for at
least 2 hours. Half fill the saucepan with cold water, place the
jar of glue in the middle, and bring to a gentle simmer. The
glue will be ready to use.
Laying the veneer – First brush a layer of glue onto the
groundwork, then lay the veneer on to the groundwork
allowing it to overlap the edges in case of shrinkage. Use a
warm iron over the surface of the veneer to re-melt the glue.
Dampen the veneer with a water spray if the heat causes it to
curl. Using the veneer hammer, work the blade from the
centre to the edges to squeeze out the excess glue. As it cools
the veneer becomes held down by the tack of the glue.
Joining veneer in the width – Lay the veneers as described
above, overlapping the edges by a small amount. Using a
straight edge and knife cut through both veneers with a careful
succession of light cuts and remove the waste. Apply a little
fresh glue, hammer down and tape over the join with veneer
tape

WOODFINISHING
Friction polish - this is a form of shellac polish used for
Shellac polishes – Known generically as French polishes
this group of products will produce the traditional high gloss
finish as known and loved on antique furniture. It is normally
applied by hand using the traditional French polishers ‘rubber’.
French polish is not suited to areas which may be subject to
heat, dampness or abrasion.

Tip
(1) Never use old polish, it does not harden off
properly. Buy polish only when you need it and buy
only as much as you need for the job.
(2) Do not attempt polishing in the cold and damp.
(3) Do not skimp on preparation and grain filling.
Sanding sealer - designed to be an easily applied basecoat
on which other finishes can be applied. Additives are included
which make it easy to sand back without clogging the abrasive
paper. All types are normally applied with a brush and will dry
well enough to be sanded back in just a few minutes.

An improved result may be had with more grainy woods
using an undercoat of sanding sealer
Lacquers and varvishes – there is a fair variety of
finishes listed here all of which are more durable than the
other finishes we sell because they use synthetic resins. They
can all be applied by brush with relative ease.
Acrylics are water based and are recommended if you have any
concerns about fumes.
Brushing French polish is spirit based and can be built quickly2 or 3 coats an hour – to a high gloss which looks and feels
like French polish.
Rustins plastic coating is the toughest finish listed here being
able to withstand higher levels of heat, moisture and abrasion
than any of the others.

(1) Can be used to mask off and preserve the original
colour of specific areas when wood staining.
(2) Can be used on marquetry or inlaid areas where
many different coloured woods are present to
prevent the dust of a strongly coloured wood
contaminating the pores of a paler coloured wood.
(3) Use for the sanding sealer and wax finish, one of the
fastest professional looking finishes there is.
Procedure – brush one coat shellac sanding sealer –
after a couple of minutes lightly rub down (de-nib)
with 320grit lubrasil or garnet paper – burnish with
0000 wire wool to remove any scratch marks – apply
one coat wax polish in the normal way.

Tip
Gloss finishes look awful when applied to rough textured
woods such as oak or padauk without proper grainfilling.
Satin or semi gloss finishes can give a professional look in just
a couple of coats because for some reason it looks fine even
with the roughness of the wood showing through. This is a
great time saver.
(1) Oil based finishes such as the polyurethane
varnishes are much easier to apply evenly by brush.
If you do not mind slower drying times use these.
Oil finishes – the oils used as woodfinishes all change from
a liquid to a solid state with exposure to the air. When used
sparingly they penetrate the wood more deeply than other
finishes leaving a low lustre finish. Extra applications will
build the finish to a gloss. Oil finishes offer good water
resistance and are easily restored if damaged.
Woodstains – a selection of easy to use woodstains in a
wide variety of colour. Acrylic waterstains are non grain
raising and lightfast. Any finish can be applied on top of it
and it can be used to tint acrylic lacquers.
Spirit stains are light fast and can be mixed with cellulose
based lacquers or thinned with cellulose thinners.

Tip
(1) The biggest cause of failure when oil finishing is to
use it like a paint or a varnish. The correct
application method must be observed, that is to
apply an ample amount by brush and to remove any
excess after only a few minutes leaving the thinnest
of films on the surface. Several hours drying time
must be allowed between coats.
(2) The rags you use to ‘rag off’ the excess oil should
be considered a fire hazard.
Wax finishes – wax finishes have the least of all resistance
to heat, moisture and abrasion. They remain popular as a
protective layer over French polished finishes, for pine
furniture, and where durability is not important.
Staining waxes are intended to colour and age antique
furniture.
Liming wax produces the ‘limed oak’ effect.
The woodturners wax stick is applied and burnished with the
lathe in motion.

(1) Wax finishing is always easier and better over a base
coat of sanding sealer.
(2) For durability and practicality less is more.
(3) Application with a 0000 wire wool pad gives a
thinner more even coat.
(4) Beeswax is not great for items that are going to be
handled a lot because the melting point is so low
that it can mark up just with the heat of the hand.

Tip
(1) We have found when discussing wood staining
with our customers that the most common and
enduring mistake is where the woodstain has been
applied like a varnish or paint. It is important to
apply the stain liberally and to remove the excess
with a rag well before the surface begins to dry.
(3) All woods react differently to the stains because
the absorbtion rates are different and the
background colour of the natural wood affects the
end result.

Gelatine based animal glues.
The traditional ‘glue pot’ glue – animal glue remains a very
strong performer for general use and is the superior glue for
traditional hand veneering methods because the hot water
content helps the veneer lie flat.
The pearls or granules must be pre- soaked in cold water for a
few hours and then are brought to a simmer in a glue pot and
applied hot. Animal glues are not waterproof so are ideal for
use in joints which may need to be opened up for repairs.
