$2.54The Story
Redwood PSE 69mm x 69mm is a planed square edge timber section machined smooth on all four faces, giving clean, consistent edges straight from the yard. At this substantial finished size, it suits heavier internal joinery where both structural presence and a neat surface finish are needed.
Specifications
| Material | European Redwood (Pinus sylvestris) |
|---|---|
| Finish | Planed Square Edge (PSE) - smooth on four faces |
| Nominal Size | 75mm x 75mm (3 inch) |
| Finished Size | 69mm x 69mm |
| Profile | Square section |
| Treatment | Untreated |
| Use Class | Internal / protected environments |
What it's used for
- Newel posts and staircase components where a solid, clean section is required
- Mantelpiece frames, fire surrounds, and decorative structural features
- Bespoke furniture legs, bench supports, and heavy shelving uprights
- Internal joinery framing where a square, planed finish saves preparation time
Fitting and handling
Allow the timber to acclimatise inside the building for at least 48 hours before fixing, particularly in heated rooms, to reduce any movement after installation. Fix using suitable screws or bolts depending on load requirements, and pre-drill close to ends to avoid splitting. The planed surface takes paint, stain, oil, and varnish well with minimal preparation - a light sand with 120-grit paper before finishing gives the best result.
FAQ
What is the actual finished size of 69mm x 69mm redwood PSE?

Is 69mm x 69mm PSE suitable for newel posts?
