Timber Colour

When you are choosing your timber, it is important to remember that you can personalise the colour and tone of the wood using different timber coatings and finishes.

The type of finish you choose can make a huge different to the look and appearance of the timber. For example, the pictures below all feature the same timber (Western Red Cedar) - the colour has simply been enhanced using different finishes to create a range of stunning looks.
