Wood Species

One of the greatest appeals of wood is the fact that no two pieces look exactly the same. You do not have to settle with the "cookie cutter" feel offered by other uniform building materials. Grain patterns and color vary widely, adding texture, warmth and personality.

Simpson gives homeowners the freedom to take full advantage of this reality. We offer a broad range of species, each with its own distinctive character. Some of our popular species are shown below. If you have a more exotic type of wood in mind, please contact your Simpson dealer for details about our custom capabilities.
