Hardwoods

The Beauty and Strength of Hardwoods:
​Explore Our Premium Range at Strahan Timber

When it comes to choosing timber for your next project, hardwood is a timeless choice, valued for its strength, durability, and natural beauty. At Strahan Timber, we are proud to supply an exceptional range of hardwoods suited to furniture-making, joinery, construction, and custom carpentry. With over 200 years of timber expertise, we offer not just materials, but a standard of quality trusted by craftsmen across Ireland.
​
🌳 Why Choose Hardwood?
Unlike softwoods, hardwoods come from deciduous trees, species that grow slowly and produce dense, durable wood. This makes hardwoods ideal for structural integrity and longevity, while also offering a wide variety of grains and tones to enhance visual appeal.
Whether you're building bespoke furniture, restoring period joinery, or crafting high-end interiors, hardwood is the material of choice for serious tradespeople and design-conscious DIYers.
