PAR timber refers to wood that has undergone a specific milling process. Unlike raw lumber that comes straight from the log, PAR timber is smoothed out on all of its sides and edges. The planing process not only refines the wood, enhancing its aesthetic appeal but also ensures consistency in size and shape. It’s a preferred choice for many woodworkers, DIY enthusiasts as well as professionals when they are seeking timber that’s ready to use and without the typical rough edges found in standard lumber.Â
Planed timber and sawn timber are distinct in their finish and applications. PAR timber, as the name suggests, has been planed to offer smooth surfaces and edges. This process makes it ideal for projects that need a polished look and feel. In contrast, sawn timber keeps its original, rough appearance after being cut, showcasing the raw texture of the wood. While planed timber is often chosen for its smooth look for projects which will be seen, sawn timber is more common in structural applications or places where the finish isn’t important.Â
