Ash Edge-Glued Solid Wood Panel, Finger Jointed, Thickness 1.5″/38mm, Grade 2

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

We offer wholesale orders for ash furniture panels—a material that accurately conveys the beauty of light solid wood but is significantly more stable than solid wood.

Characteristics of Grade 2 (B) Ash Furniture Panels

For finger-jointed ash furniture panels, Grade 2 is determined by the visual characteristics of the surfaces, not by strength parameters. All panels are manufactured using the same technology and have high durability.

Grade 2 (B) furniture panels have certain features related to the presence of natural wood defects. On the panel surface:

• Black knots up to 5 mm are permitted.
• Variations in lamella color are possible, without a perfect match in pattern and tone.
• Minor gluing defects that do not affect the material’s performance are allowed.
• Sapwood (up to 20%) is possible.

Production Technology of Finger-Jointed Ash Furniture Panels

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

Advantages of Ash Furniture Panels Over Solid Wood

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

Applications of Ash Furniture Panels

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

• Countertops for desks, kitchen work areas, and bar counters;
• Treads for interior stairs;
• Furniture fronts: doors for cabinets, dressers, chests, and pencil cases;
• Headboards for beds;
• Seats for bar stools, benches, and stools;
• Windowsills in homes and offices;
• Decorative wall panels.
