Western hemlock is milled into many different products and is favored by craftsmen for the high quality of its finish lumber. Clear lumber milled from hemlock is fine textured, straight-grained, free of pitch and it splinters less than other softwood clears. These characteristics make it an excellent wood for molding, millwork and a large variety of interior paneling products.
