All our stocks are Larix sibirica, though we can arrange the supply of other Larch species such as European (decidua) or Eastern Siberian (dahurica), if specifically requested by a client.
We procure our Larix sibirica from sawmills based in the Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk regions of Siberia, known for producing the finest raw material available.
Due to the geographic location and climate of these regions, the growing season is very short, producing ideal conditions for the characteristics associated with this species.
The key benefits of Siberian Larch suggest this species warrants due consideration as an alternative to Western Red Cedar, Thermowood, or other similar timber products used for exterior applications.
The material is graded on visual appearance, primarily on frequency and size of knot as well as other factors inherent within the timber.
Unsorted (Grades I – III)
Sawfalling (IV and better)
Fourths
Our un-edged material, known as Flitches [supplied as Green or Kiln dried] is specially graded to the highest classification (Grades 0-I). It is primarily used for traditional joinery applications where wide sections are required.
