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

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

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

Characteristics of Grade 3 (B/C) Cherry Furniture Panels

In the context of finger-jointed cherry furniture panels, Grade 3 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. Grade 3 (B/C) furniture panels are the lowest in terms of appearance quality. The material has the maximum allowable number of natural wood defects. The product is cost-effective but requires additional finishing.

Features of Grade 3 furniture panels include:

• Presence of significant knots, including sound and black ones. Large knots may be filled with wood putty.
• Sapwood is permitted, sometimes up to 75% on a lamella. Sapwood has a lighter shade compared to heartwood and can create a significant contrast.
• No matching of lamellas by pattern, tone, or texture. The panel can be very non-uniform in color, with pronounced transitions between lamellas.
• Minor chips on the surface or edges, non-through cracks (especially near knots), and mechanical damage are permitted.
• Bark and rot are not permitted.

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.
• Sawing the Lamellas. 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, and strips with defects are removed.
• 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.
• Joining the Segments. The lamellas are glued together lengthwise and widthwise under a press using environmentally friendly adhesives that meet strength and safety standards.
• Calibration 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 internal stresses, which cause deformation in solid wood. Thus, the finger-jointed panel is not prone to warping or cracking due to fluctuations in humidity and temperature.
2. Structural Uniformity. The finger-jointing process allows for the creation of a uniform surface without defects.
3. Wear Resistance. The load is evenly distributed 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.
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 texture of the wood. The finger-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 work areas, and bar counters;
• steps for interior stairs;
• furniture fronts: doors for cabinets, dressers, nightstands, and tall units;
• bed headboards;
• 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 light.

Its 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 manufacturing high-end furniture, musical instruments, interior decor, and veneer.
