KITTITAS
KITTITAS
Texture variation: Smooth
KITTITAS leans into a cool charcoal-gray palette with a smooth charred surface and subtle linear grain. The darker finish gives the boards a more modern, composed presence, while the vertical grain keeps the surface clean and architectural. In interior and protected exterior applications, KITTITAS works well where the design calls for a darker Western Hemlock finish without the heavy texture of deep char.

Western Hemlock
Western Hemlock is a fine-grained Pacific Northwest softwood valued for its clean, consistent appearance and excellent workability. With a naturally uniform texture and subtle, pale tone, it accepts finishes evenly and profiles cleanly — making it a strong choice for interior cladding, and architectural woodwork where precision and refinement matter.
