Quick Overview
  • Sustainably sourced
  • Prime European Beech
  • Kiln-dried to 9-11%
  • Sanded on one face
  • Generous volume discounts
  • Machined here in the UK

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.

We use numerous ways to deliver our hardwood products all around the UK mainland. This includes delivery by our own vehicle (within a limited delivery scope), and also the use of independent couriers. The courier price is the direct charge from the couriers we use and is a weight-driven tariff based on the delivery location.

  2. Go to the shopping cart.
  3. Type your full delivery postcode in the 'Calculate Shipping' box and our website will calculate the shipping method and the accurate shipping charge.

Courier delivery timescales

The time taken for delivery by courier can vary depending on location. When your order is complete, we will email you to inform you of despatch. The courier will then contact you when they have collected your order from us, to inform you of the expected delivery day.

Storage information

Our timber is kiln-dried and should not be stored in a cold, damp environment (e.g. garage, shed or outbuilding) where it could take on moisture. On arrival at your property, the packs should be taken straight indoors into a dry, heated building. All concrete, plaster and wet work should be fully dried out prior to storage and/or installation.
