Pine sawn lamellas 4.5 mm thick allow for wire brushing and repeated surface sanding (refinishing). The material is a practical solution for manufacturing solid worktops, furniture fronts, and doors. Dispatch of sawn veneer starts from 1 pack. Warehouse pickup is available from the warehouse in Kyiv, alongside shipping across Ukraine via freight carriers. Our managers will help select the material remotely.
Key Features of Pine 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 Pine 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.
Pine 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 Pine 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.
Pine 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.
Pine Timber: Characteristics and Features
Pine (Pinus) is the primary softwood species in the European woodworking industry, accounting for over 60% of the sawn timber market. It is a versatile structural material utilized in applications ranging from timber framing to the production of veneer and furniture.
Pine has one of the most extensive natural ranges among conifers, spanning all of Europe and Northern Asia. In Ukraine, pine forests are primarily concentrated in the Polissia and forest-steppe zones. The highest technical value is attributed to so-called “Northern pine” (characterised by tight annual rings) and timber harvested from sandy soils (boreal pine), which features higher density and a superior knot structure.
Pine is a softwood species with a pronounced resinous nature. Mechanical properties depend significantly on the width of the annual rings and the cumulative proportion of latewood. Density values typically range between 500 and 520 kg/m³ (at standard moisture content). The Brinell hardness is 2.5 $HB$. Due to the inherent brittleness of the fibres, its bending capacity is relatively low.
There is a distinct visual contrast between the heartwood and the sapwood. The heartwood is reddish-brown, while the sapwood is wide and ranges from light yellow to creamy white. Under UV exposure, the timber undergoes photochemical darkening, yellowing and deepening in tone quickly. The texture is pronounced, featuring clearly defined growth rings and a predominantly straight grain. High resin content is evident through the clearly visible resin ducts on transverse sections. While resin acts as a natural antiseptic, it can complicate certain types of industrial finishing.
The timber demonstrates excellent machinability, being easy to saw, plane, and sand. However, high resin content can cause pitch buildup on cutting tools. Before painting or lacquering, a de-resining (pitch removal) procedure should be performed (treating the surface with specialized solvents); otherwise, resin may bleed through the finish. Pine is compatible with all types of industrial adhesives and mechanical fasteners (nails, screws). Solid timber accepts stains and varnishes well, but “blotching” often occurs due to the differing absorption rates of earlywood and latewood. The use of a wood conditioner is highly recommended prior to staining to ensure a uniform finish.
Pine remains the optimal material for budget and mid-range solutions in the construction and furniture sectors. The primary competitive advantages of this species are its favorable strength-to-weight ratio and consistent availability.
