Thin Prime Grade European Oak Timber
- Sustainably sourced
- Solid European Oak
- 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 Oak. It is normal for the thin wood to display a slight curvature across the width due to the natural movement of the timber.
Our Thin Sanded Oak is sustainably sourced from France and manufactured to order at our factory here in Yorkshire. The timber is a prime grade but may contain some small knots and scatterings of pip which are a natural feature of oak. The boards are sawn and then sanded on one face and supplied in random lengths.
Our Thin Sanded Oak is suitable for woodworking, furniture making, model making and crafts such as laser cutting, intarsia and luthiery.

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.
Properties
A fairly hard, heavy and dense hardwood, with high crushing and bending strength, low stiffness and resistance to shock loads. It is very good for turning and steam-bending. It is suitable for gluing, painting, sanding, staining and varnishing and will take high polish. European oak can be darkened by fuming with ammonia. Due to tannins present in the timber, oak wood will react with ferrous metals when wet. Select non-ferrous (brass or stainless steel) fixings where possible.
Durability
Extremely durable.
Typical Uses
Thin oak timber is often used by hobbyists for decorative veneers and crafting.
