Hewn’s Thermally Modified Clear Vertical Grain (CVG) Hemlock is an exceptional choice for those seeking a blend of beauty, durability, and ecological responsibility in their building materials. Sourced from the abundant Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) of the Pacific Northwest, this wood undergoes a chemical-free thermal modification process. This enhances its dimensional stability, resistance to decay, and overall durability.
Our modified hemlock boasts a uniform and fine grain, making it ideal for paneling and siding. This sustainable and eco-friendly option ensures that your projects are not only aesthetically pleasing but also built to last.
Thermally Modified Hemlock Collection
Hewn’s Thermally Modified Hemlock Collection is designed to showcase and enhance the traditional properties of Western Hemlock, featuring colors and finishes that absolutely excel in classic and modern applications.
Please note that online Color Samples are available to order in their respective standard texture only. For samples of additional textures or hand tooling, please contact your Hewn sales representative.
These Color Sample boards measure approximately 7 ¾″ by 5 ½″, and are intended as a physical reference for a chosen wood species and color. Color Samples are generally interchangeable between product types (eg. Paneling, Siding, Beams, etc).
Enduring Elegance
Hemlock has been used as a building material for centuries, valued for its strength, workability, and aesthetic appeal. Its use in paneling and siding became prominent in the early 20th century, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, due to its abundance and the wood’s ability to withstand the region’s damp climate.
