To correctly store timber mouldings, keep them indoors in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space, stacked, strapped, flat and horizontal with stickers (spacers) between layers for airflow to prevent warping and moisture buildup. 

Protect them from direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, and contact with the ground, and seal the ends of the boards to prevent moisture absorption and cracking.  We find that covering the top board of a stack with a tarpaulin to help stock the top piece warping.

Finger jointed timber, made by bonding smaller wood pieces into long, continuous lengths, offers superior dimensional stability, cost-effectiveness, and reduced waste compared to solid timber. 

Solid timber, conversely, provides a more naturally aesthetic and unique look with varied grain patterns, but can be more prone to warping and is often more expensive and less sustainable. 

Finger jointing is ideal for construction and trim due to its stability and long lengths, while solid timber is preferred for high-end furniture and applications where natural beauty is paramount. 

PAR stands for Planed All Round, referring to timber that has been machined smooth on all four sides. This process creates a uniform, high-quality surface that is ready for use in projects requiring a flawless finish, such as furniture making, interior joinery, and visible decorative elements. 

PAR timber offers precision, a smooth aesthetic, and is more aesthetically pleasing than rough-sawn timber, eliminating the need for extensive extra preparation.
