Cherry sawn veneer 4.5 mm thick is a durable timber material with a distinct figure. Due to their thickness, the sheets withstand repeated sanding and restoration, making them suitable for worktops, furniture fronts, and doors. Sawn timber dispatch is available from 1 pack. Remote material selection by tone and square metres. Collection from the warehouse in Kyiv, dispatch of orders across Ukraine.
Key Features of Cherry Sawn Veneer (Lamella)
- Structural integrity. Due to the sawing technology, the timber maintains a stable structure and fibre integrity, ensuring high surface quality.
- Natural colour palette. The production process for lamellas does not require preliminary steaming. This preserves the natural wood shades without unwanted yellow or red tints, which is critical for design projects.
- Durability and restoration. With thicknesses ranging from 2 mm to 10 mm, lamella products can be sanded and refinished multiple times (similar to solid wood boards). This makes the material ideal for high-traffic flooring, stairs, and furniture.
- Stability. Sawn veneer demonstrates high resistance to fluctuations in humidity and temperature. The risk of deformation in products veneered with these sheets is minimal.
- Workability. The smooth and clean surface after sawing ensures excellent adhesion with all types of adhesives (PVA, PU, resins). Veneer sheets are easy to cut, sand, stain, and varnish.
Custom Cherry Sawn Lamella
We stock Acacia sawn veneer in thicknesses of 2.5 mm and 4.5 mm, lengths of 2–3.2 m, and widths of 10–21 cm.
Made-to-order options:
- Thickness: Non-standard sizes from 2 mm to 10 mm.
- Dimensions: Custom widths and lengths available upon request.
- Minimum order quantity (MOQ): From 10 m² per species.
- Lead time: 10 working days.
TIP. Always order sawn lamellas with a 10–15% surface area allowance. Extra material is essential for grain matching and figure alignment, as well as for end trimming and cross-cutting.
Cherry Sawn Veneer Grades
For facing materials, the grade indicates aesthetic characteristics rather than technical quality. Since lamella is used as a face layer, its classification is based on visual parameters: the presence of knots, sapwood, medullary rays, and colour uniformity.
All grades in our range undergo the same kiln-drying cycle to a moisture content (MC) of 8–10% and precision thickness sanding. The choice of grade depends solely on the intended style of the finished product.
| Grade | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| A (Select / Prime) |
The highest level of timber selection, prioritising clarity and uniformity.
|
| B (Natural) |
This material showcases the wood’s texture, balancing clarity with authenticity.
|
| C (Rustic / Country) |
Highly expressive texture that emphasises the material’s natural origin.

Where is Cherry Sawn Veneer Used?
Parquet Board
Hardwood sawn veneer is used as the wear layer of flooring. The Cherry wear layer withstands the operational loads of residential spaces and, with proper treatment and maintenance, provides long-lasting service. Engineered and parquet boards are aesthetic, practical, and wear-resistant materials that suit dozens of interior styles.
Staircase Elements and Treads
Sawn veneer from hard and dense species is used to face the treads and landings of internal staircases. Lamellas withstand significant loads, maintain their structural geometry, and are suitable for future restoration.
Worktops
Sawn veneer sheets are a durable material used for desks, coffee tables, and side tables, as well as bar counters, shop counters, reception desks, and kitchen islands.
Furniture Fronts
Sawn lamella allows for the creation of unique custom cabinetry. Due to its sufficient thickness, veneered fronts can be milled or wire-brushed. Additionally, lamellas are used to create louvred fronts for wardrobes and other storage areas. Timber-faced doors for cabinets, chests of drawers, and sideboards are essential elements for bespoke design projects.
Wall Panels
Interior timber panels are not only wall or ceiling finishes but also an opportunity to enhance local lighting. LED-backlit panels are popular for living rooms and bedrooms. Veneered wall panels are also used for the interior fit-out of cafes, restaurants, retail spaces, and offices.
Interior Decor
Timber lamellas are used to manufacture various decorative products. The material is easy to cut, glue, paint, varnish, and stain. Sawn lamella is used to create toys, puzzles, coasters, napkin holders, boxes, phone holders, decorative panels, stationery organisers, cosmetic stands, wall clocks, and more.
Cherry Sawn Lamella Production Technology
- Raw material selection. The production process begins with the rigorous selection of premium and prime-grade boards. This stage defines the quality of the future product, as timber characteristics directly affect the aesthetics and performance of the lamella.
- Kiln drying. Selected raw materials undergo drying in specialised kilns. This technology allows for the achievement of an optimal joinery moisture content (MC) level (8–10%), which is essential for material stability. Correct drying reduces internal stresses and prevents deformation or cracking.
- Calibration. Before sawing, the boards are calibrated to dimensions that match the parameters of the saw frame. This approach ensures high precision in subsequent processing and optimal material yield.
- Sawing. Prepared blanks are fed into a Wintersteiger machine. After setting the thickness and other parameters, the timber is resawn into sheets. The use of high-precision equipment guarantees consistent saw-cut quality.
- Quality control (QC) and grading. The finished sawn veneer is inspected for compliance with dimensions, thickness, and grade. After grading, the lamellas are grouped into bundles, which are then packed onto pallets for transport.
Cherry Timber: Key Characteristics
European Cherry timber (Prunus avium) is a premium hardwood species highly valued in the professional woodworking industry. Over time, the wood develops a deep, warm reddish-brown patina. The natural range of Prunus avium spans across Europe—including Ukraine—North Africa, and Western Asia. The highest quality industrial logs are sourced from Central Europe, where the temperate climate ensures a consistent and uniform growth ring structure.
The air-dry density of the timber typically ranges from 580 to 620 kg/m³, with a Brinell hardness rating of 3.2. These specifications confirm that the species is sufficiently durable for furniture fronts while offering superior workability compared to oak or ash. Cherry responds exceptionally well to steam bending, making it ideal for manufacturing complex curved components for high-end seating and cabinetry. Its high impact strength allows the material to endure significant mechanical stress without cracking or structural failure.
Freshly sawn timber typically displays a yellowish-red or pale pinkish hue. Under the influence of UV light, the wood darkens gradually into a rich reddish-brown with a subtle golden luster. The grain is predominantly straight, featuring a fine, uniform texture. As a diffuse-porous species, it has small, evenly distributed pores. Narrow medullary rays and occasional gum pockets (dark streaks or spots) are characteristic natural features that underscore the authenticity and character of the finished wood product.
Cherry timber is highly workable using both manual and CNC machinery. However, due to its natural sugar and resin content, care must be taken to avoid frictional «burning» of the wood at high spindle or router speeds. Its fine-pored structure allows for a high-gloss, mirror-like surface finish. While cherry accepts stains and lacquers excellently, its natural aesthetic is most effectively highlighted by transparent oils or waxes.
