Lime sawn veneer (lamellas) 2.5 mm thick is a soft, lightweight, and eco-friendly material with a uniform texture. Free of resin canals, this timber product is suitable for furniture facing, sauna interior elements, and decorative wood carving. Lime sawn lamellas bond exceptionally well with adhesives and easily accept any tint or finish. You can buy sawn veneer starting from 1 pack, with wholesale orders fully fulfilled. Remote material selection is available by grain, shade, and square meters. Warehouse pickup is available in Kyiv, alongside prompt delivery across Ukraine via freight carriers.
Key Features of Linden 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 Linden 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.
Linden 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 Linden Sawn Veneer Used?
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.
Linden 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.
Linden Timber: Technical Characteristics and Properties
Linden (Tilia), also known as Lime or Basswood in international markets, is a low-density hardwood species that occupies a specific niche in the woodworking industry. Due to its combination of low density, high toughness, and the absence of resins, linden is considered the optimal material for artistic hand-carving and the interior cladding of steam rooms and saunas.
The species is widespread across the temperate zones of Europe, Western Siberia, and East Asia. In Ukraine, linden is prevalent nationwide, but the largest commercial timber stands are concentrated in the forest-steppe and Polissya regions. For professional woodworking, timber harvested from trees aged 60–80 years grown in shaded, high-density forest stands is considered of the highest quality.
The primary physical and mechanical advantage of solid linden is its exceptional dimensional stability after drying and high resistance to warping or cracking. Its Brinell hardness is approximately 1.5 HB, and its density typically ranges from 450 to 530 kg/m³. Its steam-bending capacity is rated as high, while its thermal conductivity remains remarkably low.
Linden is a sapwood-dominant, diffuse-porous species (non-heartwood). The timber features a light, nearly white color, occasionally exhibiting a subtle yellowish or pinkish undertone. Notably, the wood is resistant to photo-oxidation; it does not darken significantly under UV exposure but rather develops a refined matte finish. The texture is fine and uniform. Pores and annual growth rings are virtually invisible on longitudinal surfaces, creating a homogeneous, monolithic visual effect. The grain is fine and predominantly straight.
Linden timber is recognized as the «gold standard» for woodcarvers. The solid wood exhibits excellent machining properties, allowing it to be cut with equal ease both with and across the grain. The material retains the most intricate reliefs and sharpest corners without splintering. Machining linden requires high-precision, sharp tooling: dull blades may crush the wood fibers instead of severing them. The wood sands and polishes to a superior finish. As a resin-free species with low thermal conductivity, linden cladding and sauna benches do not emit organic volatiles when heated to +100°C and maintain a safe surface temperature for skin contact.
Linden timber is a premium material for high-end interior decor, kitchenware production, and professional sauna installations. Due to its eco-friendly nature and hypoallergenic properties, this solid wood is an ideal choice for residential interiors and children’s furniture.
