Planed Softwood Timber 38x50mm, finished to 32x44mm, is a versatile timber solution for interior joinery, shelving and decorative projects. Designed for tradespeople and builders who want a ready-to-work timber that accepts common finishes and presents a neat, consistent appearance.

This timber is planed sawn softwood. Planed timber is finished on all surfaces to a smooth level, which helps when staining, oiling or applying lacquer. The 38x50mm nominal size is finished to 32x44mm, providing a precise, workable profile for a range of tasks. PAR (Planed All Round) timber is typically used where all faces are visible and a premium finish is desired, whereas PSE (Planed Square Edge) is common when only some faces are seen. Our finished size is suitable for interior applications and can be used externally if properly treated and maintained.

Key features include a smooth planed surface ready for common finishes, good workability, and compatibility with a variety of interior projects. The timber is softwood, making it easy to cut, drill and screw, and it accepts stains, oils and lacquers well. It’s designed primarily for interior use, but with appropriate protection it can be used outdoors. The range is available in multiple lengths to suit different project needs.

  • Lengths available: 0.9m minimum up to 4.2m maximum, so you can pick pieces that fit without excessive waste.
  • Finished size: 32x44mm from an overall 38x50mm nominal profile, suitable for trim, framing and light structural work where appearance matters.
  • Surface condition: planed on all faces for a smooth, ready-to-finish surface.
  • Finish options: compatible with stains, oils and lacquers to achieve the desired look.

Practical tips for use: condition timber before cutting to minimise movement, store in a dry, well-ventilated area, and acclimatise pieces before installation. If used outdoors, apply a suitable preservative and sealant to protect from moisture and UV exposure. Inspect for defects such as knots or splits and plan joins accordingly to maximise performance and appearance.

Clean, Planed Finish

This timber is planed to give smooth faces and square edges for tidy work. It suits projects where the wood is on show and you want a cleaner look than sawn timber. Use it for indoor framing, battening, shelving rails, trims, and general carpentry where straight edges matter.
The nominal size is larger than what you receive because the timber is machined down after drying. This gives a more consistent section and helps the piece sit better against walls, boards, and fittings. The finished 32x44mm profile is easier to measure, mark, and fix neatly.

Nominal vs Finished Size

The listed 38x50mm is the nominal size, which refers to the timber before planing. After machining, the finished size is 32x44mm, which is what you install. This matters when matching existing battens, setting out centres, or working to tight tolerances.

Where It Works Best

This profile is a practical choice for lightweight framing, service battens, and support work behind boards and panels. It also suits joinery tasks like edging support, boxing-in, and packers where a smooth surface helps. For external use, treat and seal the timber to suit the exposure level and maintain it over time.

Weight and Handling

Weight depends on the length you choose, but a useful guide is around 720g per linear metre. That makes it easy to carry, cut, and fix without heavy handling on small jobs. For a common length like 2.4m, the piece is roughly 1,700g using standard softwood density ranges.

Cutting and Finishing

The planed surface takes paint, stain, and clear finishes well when prepared properly. Sand lightly if needed, remove dust, and apply a suitable primer or sealer for the finish system you are using. The straight, planed edges also help when fixing against plasterboard, plywood, and MDF without snagging or splintering.
