Joinery unedged lime timber of grade 1 is a sawn timber product with a live edge. Small intergrown sound knots and uneven colouring are permitted on the lime boards. It is an optimal material for serial production in terms of the price-to-quality ratio. It is used for wall cladding in saunas, and the manufacturing of furniture and worktops. The moisture content (MC) after kiln drying is 8–10%. Available for retail and wholesale purchase. Lime boards are ready for dispatch: self-collection and shipping across Ukraine are available.
Characteristics of Extra Grade Unedged Lime Board
Board grade is a classification of timber based on natural wood features: the number and type of knots, presence of cracks or sapwood, and uniformity of texture and colour. The grade primarily determines the aesthetic qualities of the material rather than its basic physical-mechanical properties. Given the same species and correct humidity, the grade has almost no effect on the board’s strength.
Features of Extra (Premium) Grade boards:
- Elite timber with a clean surface: uniform texture and consistent colouring.
- Knots, sapwood, cracks, or sharp colour variations are not permitted.
- This is material for furniture facades, wall panels, and other interior items where visual perfection is required.
Characteristics of Grade 1 Unedged Lime Board
The concept of wood grading is based on classifying sawn timber by its visual characteristics. It takes into account the number and classifications of knots, the potential presence of checks, shakes, and sapwood, as well as the uniformity of the grain pattern and color shade. The main point to remember is that the grade primarily determines the aesthetic appearance rather than the structural reliability of the material. If boards of the same species have undergone proper kiln drying (KD), the mechanical strength of the sawn timber will be virtually identical, regardless of its grade.
Features of Grade 1 boards:
- The “Gold Standard” for joinery works: a surface with practically no peculiarities, but at a more accessible price.
- Isolated live (light) knots of small diameter and minor natural shade variations are permitted.
- The optimal choice for worktops, staircases, parquet, and cabinet furniture, where the natural wood grain is appreciated.
Advantages of Unedged Lime Board
- Maximum economic benefit. This is the most affordable type of timber. The cost per cubic metre of unedged board is significantly lower than that of edged board. This is because the price does not include the costs of edging and the percentage of production waste. It is the optimal choice for those with equipment for self-cutting or those seeking a budget solution.
- Unique “live edge” aesthetics. In joinery, an unedged rim is not a defect but an aesthetic feature. Preserving the natural contour of the trunk allows for the creation of exclusive furniture in loft, eco, rustic, and country styles. This type of unedged board is used to craft popular epoxy resin tables, bespoke window sills, bar counters, and bed headboards.
- Freedom of cutting. When working with edged boards, a craftsman is limited by the strict geometry of the lumber. Unedged timber offers freedom: you decide how to bypass a knot or crack. This is particularly valuable when manufacturing curved details (such as chair legs or decorative elements), as it allows you to “extract” more useful raw material from the board.
- Versatility of application. Depending on the species and grade, this material covers a wide range of tasks: from construction (formwork, scaffolding) to designer projects (live edge worktops, non-standard window sills).
Unedged Lime Board: Dimensions
WoodWay Expert offers high-quality unedged boards made from selected and properly dried timber. The lumber is stored in appropriate conditions. We stock solid wood boards in the following dimensions:
- Thickness: 32 mm, 52 mm;
- Width: from 20 cm;
- Length: 1–4.5 m.
Boards exceeding 3 m in length carry a +20% surcharge on the price listed in the price list. Our specialists will help you select quality material for your project, regardless of its complexity or scale. We also provide an additional rough cutting service to facilitate easier transport.
Features of Kiln-Dried Lime Boards
- Dimensional Stability. During kiln drying, the wood moisture content is brought to an average of 8–10%—the optimal figure for interior use. Controlled temperature and humidity regimes significantly reduce internal stresses in the solid wood. Consequently, the board behaves predictably during cutting and further processing: the risk of warping, twisting, or shrinkage cracks is significantly lower. Products made from kiln-dried timber retain their shape better over time under stable operating conditions.
- Biological Purity. The temperature regimes of kiln drying suppress the development of mould and fungi and destroy most insect pest larvae, including woodworm. As a result, the timber enters production in a biologically safe state, which is particularly important for furniture and joinery manufacturing.
- Quality of Mechanical and Finish Processing. Dry wood has a stable structure, which directly impacts the processing result. During milling and sawing, tools work more cleanly, and edges come out smooth without excessive fuzz or chipping. Sanding proceeds evenly, fibres do not “raise”, and stains, oils, and varnishes penetrate deeper into the pores, ensuring reliable adhesion and a stable finish.
Areas of Application for Unedged Lime Boards
Lime Wood Worktops
Joinery board is a suitable material for manufacturing hard-wearing worktops for desks, coffee tables, and side tables. Solid boards are also used for producing tops for bars and reception desks, counters, kitchen islands, and work surfaces.
Lime Furniture Facades
Sturdy wardrobes, chests of drawers, sideboards, shelving units, and floor or wall-mounted cabinets made from furniture board serve for decades. Such items are used to furnish both residential and public spaces. Furniture facades made from timber withstand everyday operational loads.
Interior Stair Elements
This timber is chosen for manufacturing turned balusters, newel posts, handrails, and risers. The material lends itself well to lathe work, allowing craftsmen to carve complex details without the risk of chipping or cracking. The species is easily stained, so items made from this soft solid wood can be integrated into design projects of various styles.
Decorative Elements from Lime Wood
The unique texture makes every item, be it a massive wall panel or a miniature key holder, an exclusive design object. The wood’s ability to easily accept various types of finishing (staining, varnishing, brushing) allows decor to be integrated into any style: from Scandinavian minimalism to rustic.
Lime Wood: Characteristics
Thanks to its low density (400–540 kg/m³), Lime wood is lightweight and easy to work with. Brinell hardness is 1.8–2. The soft solid wood can be sawn, glued, sanded, and polished without issues.
Lime lends itself beautifully to carving and other decorative techniques. It absorbs stains, paints, and varnishes well, making it suitable for imitating other species. Tools for processing the solid wood require sharp edges. If a knife is dull, the soft lime fibres are not cut but crumpled, leaving a fuzzy surface. It sands easily, but a fine-grit abrasive is needed for a smooth finish.
The solid wood is light, practically white or slightly creamy. The heartwood is not distinct. Over time, it may acquire a slightly yellow or grey tint. A delicate pattern is visible on the cut; the texture is uniform without large pores.
Lime has excellent thermal insulation qualities, making it suitable for cladding work in saunas and bathhouses. Lime shelves do not heat up to temperatures that burn the skin, even in a hot steam room. Unlike pine, lime does not “weep” hot resin.
Additionally, the wood is distinguished by its acoustic characteristics. Musical instruments (pianos, guitars, drums) are created from this light solid wood. Items made from lime boards do not weigh down structures, which is important, for example, for aeromodelling or massive wall panels.
Lime has moderate flexibility, but the breed’s main advantage is viscosity. The wood does not split upon impact, so it does not crack when nailing or carving thin elements.
