We, at McMahon's, go to great lengths to source the very best timber from around the world.  For the past 170 years we have travelled to North and South America, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, Africa, Asia, Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic States to bring you truly fine timber such as White Deal, Southern Yellow Pine, Honduras Pitch Pine, Scandinavian Red Deal, Western Red Cedar, Iroko, Sapele, Oak, Cherry, Ash and Beech.

We stock many other Hardwoods and Softwoods and a complete range is available at our branches.

 European Whitewood                                  
Available in all branches of the McMahon network. We import this product from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Russia, Latvia and Estonia. Strength-graded Whitewood is generally used for construction purposes. The Whitewood from Finland and Russia is ideal for machining and most of our machined products such as flooring, skirting boards and window boards, are made from this timber.

 European Redwood                                     
All of our Redwood comes from Finland where the best quality Redwood is available. It is used mainly in joinery applications (window, door and furniture manufacturing sold as "Pine Products"). McMahon¹s also machine imported Redwood into mouldings, flooring and skirting, reflecting its¹ growing popularity.

 Western Red Cedar                                      

Imported from Canada, it is increasingly popular with architects and specifiers for new building projects. It is durable and does not need to be treated due to its¹ natural resistance to weather. For this reason it is suitable for outside cladding, decking, sheeting and garden furniture.

 Southern Yellow Pinelow Pine                  
Originating from the southern part of the USA it has long traditional usage here in Ireland. With excellent machining qualities it is widely used for counter tops, bar furniture and ceilings and has high strength values.

 American/Canadian Hardwoods                
Species available: Red Oak, White Oak, Cherry, Ash and Maple. All of these species originate in the Appalachian region of the USA, except Maple, which is further North and into Canada. They are used by joinery and manufacturing trades for furniture, coffins, handles, flooring, skirting and kitchens.  The best examples can be seen in hotels, hospitals and public offices.

 German & Eastern European Hardwoods
We import European Beech which is very popular with manufacturers and joiners in the manufacture of bedroom and kitchen furniture due to its high strength values. It is also available steamed which produces a very attractive pink hue.

 West African Hardwoods                             
The species available are Iroko, Sapele, Utilie, Edinam, Framire and Obeche.  Iroko is traditionally used in the windows and doors of most new houses.  Of the mahogany family we stock Sapele, Utilie and Edinam. Sapele is becoming increasingly popular for use in many joinery applications due to its consistency of colour and affordable price.
