Elevate your staircase with our precision-machined 40mm thick solid timber sawtooth string, expertly crafted for strength, accuracy, and a clean modern look in any home. These strings are sold as a pair and delivered as a left-hand and right-hand string together. The tread pockets are routed the whole way through to prevent water pooling and rotting the timber.

Dimensions & Profile:

• Thickness: 40mm
• Going: 240mm or 250mm
• Rise options: 170mm, 175mm, 180mm, 185mm or 190mm

These strings can also work with 30mm treads if you are just chasing some more rigidity in the string.

Perfect for both new builds and renovations, the 40mm construction delivers solid performance in family homes while giving a neat, continuous side profile that suits contemporary, coastal, or traditional designs.

All products are delivered raw, pre-finished sanded to 100 grit.

Spotted Gum, one of Australia's most iconic native hardwoods (Corymbia maculata), features a striking, dynamic appearance with colours ranging from pale grey-brown to deep chocolate, often displaying wavy or interlocked grain and occasional fiddleback for visual drama. Extremely dense, tough, and naturally durable, it offers outstanding strength, fire resistance, and wear performance—ideal for high-traffic staircases in coastal and subtropical climates. Perfect for full stair systems including treads, risers, handrails, and balustrades, Spotted Gum adds bold character and unmatched longevity to modern Australian homes.
