Please note: The timber is sawn and then sanded on one face only and is not machine planed. If you require fully planed, square edged timber please see our range of Planed All Round European Beech. It is normal for thin wood to display a slight curvature across the width due to the natural movement of the timber.
Our Thin Sanded Beech is sustainably sourced from Europe and manufactured to order at our factory here in Yorkshire. The timber can vary from whitish to very pale brown and may darken to a pale pinkish brown. The grain is straight with a fine, even texture and a characteristic fleck. The boards are sawn and then sanded on one face and supplied in random lengths.
Our Thin Sanded Beech is suitable for woodworking, furniture making, model making and crafts such as laser cutting, intarsia and luthiery.
