Cherry Edge-Glued Solid Wood Panel, Finger Jointed, Thickness 1.5″/38mm, Grade 1

WoodWay Expert is a manufacturer and reliable supplier of furniture panels from hardwood and softwood species.

We offer wholesale cherry furniture panels—a material that perfectly captures the beauty of light solid wood but is significantly more stable than solid lumber.

Characteristics of A/B Grade Cherry Furniture Panels

For finger-jointed cherry furniture panels, the grade is determined by the visual characteristics of the surfaces, not by strength parameters. All panels are manufactured using the same technology and possess high strength.

So, what is the appearance of A/B grade finger-jointed panels?

• The face and back sides are clean, without visible wood defects, scratches, dents, cracks, chips, or tool marks.
• Sound knots (1-2 per panel) are permissible. Loose or black knots are not allowed.
• Uniformity of color and texture. The lamellas are carefully matched for color and grain pattern. There are no sharp tonal variations between adjacent segments.
• No sapwood (the lighter, less dense part of the wood adjacent to the bark).
• The glue lines are inconspicuous. There is no glue, gaps, or delamination on the surface.

Production Technology of Finger-Jointed Cherry Furniture Panels

• Wood Drying. The lamellas are made from kiln-dried boards with a moisture content of 8-10%, which ensures the material’s stability.
• Lamella Cutting. The wood is sawn into strips of a specific thickness and width. Modern machines guarantee precise dimensions for each segment.
• Sorting. The finished lamellas are sorted by quality and size; strips with defects are removed.
• Milling the Micro-Finger Joint. A special interlocking toothed joint—the micro-finger joint—is formed on the ends of the lamellas to ensure the maximum gluing surface area.
• Joining the Segments. The lamellas are glued together lengthwise and widthwise under a press using environmentally friendly adhesives that meet strength and safety standards.
• Calibrating and Sanding. The finished panel is calibrated to the required dimensions and sanded to prepare the surface for further finishing.

Advantages of Cherry Furniture Panels Over Solid Wood

1. Stability. The wooden lamellas are made from boards dried to an optimal moisture level (8-10%). Kiln drying the wood eliminates the internal stresses that cause deformation in solid lumber. Thus, the finger-jointed panel is not prone to warping or cracking due to fluctuations in humidity and temperature.
2. Uniform Structure. The finger-jointing process allows for a uniform, defect-free surface.
3. Wear Resistance. The load is distributed evenly across the material’s surface. The structure of multi-directional segments disperses point stresses and prevents pressure from concentrating in one spot. As a result, the panel maintains its integrity even under significant loads.
4. Optimal Use of Raw Materials. The finger-jointing technology allows for the efficient use of wood, minimizing waste and making production more effective and environmentally friendly.
5. Aesthetics. The wooden lamellas that make up the panel retain the wood’s natural texture. The jointing process creates a parquet-like pattern that can be an interesting design element.

Applications of Cherry Furniture Panels

This durable and stable material is used to create products such as:

• countertops for desks, kitchen workstations, and bar counters;
• treads for interior stairs;
• furniture fronts: doors for cabinets, dressers, nightstands, and tall cabinets;
• headboards for beds;
• seats for bar stools, benches, and stools;
• windowsills in homes and offices;
• decorative wall panels.

Cherry Wood: Main Characteristics

Cherry (Prunus avium) is a hardwood species. The heartwood has a characteristic golden-red, pinkish-brown, or pale pink hue that darkens over time. Cherry’s texture is uniform, with straight or sometimes wavy grain. With a density of approximately 580-600 kg/m³, the wood is relatively lightweight.

The Brinell hardness is 3.5. Cherry is easy to work with, sands well, and polishes to a high gloss. The solid wood bends and glues well. These characteristics make cherry wood an optimal material for producing high-end furniture, musical instruments, interior decor, and veneer.
