looks like keruing, now that is a pig to use.

That could well be Keruing … can vary hugely in colour, it’s like cutting iron and the dust is horrible

yes, but you said wood should look like wood, hence the reason i said it looked like keruing. i did read the post🙂

That sounds very dear, £90+Vat per m2.  

 

I bought Douglas fir for about €14/m2 ex vat in Ireland.

 

That covers a lot of maintenance and woodstain.  I would agree with @ETCthat a composite material look out of keeping as the house ages and it doesn't.

 

I would ring local sawmills and buy the most durable timber used locally and put the rest toward a good maintenance plan.
