Like the tree from which it originates, a Hemlock or Douglas Fir door stands straight and true against the elements. Its natural beauty distinguished by fine grain and smooth surface. The wood is free of pitch and resin, is suitable for all types and colours of wood stain, and provides an excellent substrate for paint and varnish with no risk of 'bleeding' through the finished surface.
Hemlock and Douglas Fir resists twisting and warping, and its inherent strength and stability is ideal for door frames as well as doors. It also presents craftsmen with excellent machining qualities. They can apply the same techniques of fine wood joinery that have been used for centuries.
