Types of Hardwood We Supply

At Live With Wood, we offer a wide selection of premium hardwoods, ideal for a range of woodworking, joinery, and furniture-making projects. Our timber is carefully sourced to ensure quality, durability, and excellent working properties. Here’s a closer look at the hardwoods we supply:

Oak is one of the most popular and durable hardwoods available. It features a strong, distinctive grain and a medium to light brown colour. Renowned for its strength and long-lasting nature, oak is widely used for furniture, flooring, cabinetry, beams, and structural joinery.

Ash is a pale-coloured hardwood with a straight grain and good shock resistance. Its toughness and elasticity make it perfect for items that undergo stress, such as tool handles, sports equipment, furniture, and internal joinery.

Beech has a light, creamy tone and a fine, even texture. It's easy to work with and takes steam bending well, which makes it a great choice for furniture making, kitchen utensils like chopping boards, children’s toys, and veneered wood panels.

Sapele is a rich, reddish-brown tropical hardwood, often compared to mahogany due to its attractive interlocked grain. It is frequently used in high-end furniture, doors, musical instruments, and decorative paneling, offering a luxurious finish.

Tulipwood—also known as Poplar—is a lightweight hardwood with a creamy or slightly greenish tint. It machines and paints very well, making it ideal for painted furniture, interior mouldings, carcassing, and use as a core for plywood and veneered boards.

Each timber type offers unique characteristics to suit different styles and requirements. Whether you’re working on a bespoke piece of furniture or a full interior fit-out, we’re here to supply you with the right wood for the job.
