Types of Timber

Redwood Pine

Similar to Pine found in most Builders Merchants but of higher quality (around 90% knot free).
(Not to be confused with the inferior white wood found in most DIY stores and used by most low cost Staircase makers)
Suitable for Painting or Staining.
If Waxing with no other finish, seal first with Sanding Sealer, flat down with fine Glasspaper and then Wax.

Yellow Pine

Although a Pine this Timber is harder and heavier than Mahogany with virtually no knots and finishes well with Oil or Varnish
As with Redwood Pine If Waxing with no other finish, seal first with Sanding Sealer, flat down with fine Glasspaper and then Wax.

Another high quality Pine that finishes excellent with Oil but Varnish tends to lessen the grain and colour
Again if Waxing with no other finish, seal first with Sanding Sealer, flat down with fine Glasspaper and then Wax.
