Waney Edge Oak Board - Custom Cut to Size - 50mm

Our 50mm oak boards are cut to size to your exact dimensions, making them suitable for larger or more demanding applications including wide shelves, worktops and statement pieces.

Due to the natural characteristics of solid oak and the machining process, a small tolerance of ±1–2mm may occur on length. Thickness is typically very consistent, but a slight variation of upto ±4mm can occur.

If installing between walls or into a recess, we recommend allowing a small fitting gap of 2–3mm to ensure an easy installation.

Due to the weight of 50mm boards, adequate support is essential depending on the span and intended use.

50mm oak boards are the thickest and most substantial option we offer, designed for applications where maximum strength and a bold, premium appearance are required.

This thickness is commonly chosen for:

• Heavy-duty floating shelves
  
• Large desktops and worktops
  
• Wide spans requiring additional support
  
• Statement pieces with a strong visual presence
  

Compared to thinner options, 50mm provides the most pronounced edge profile and the highest level of strength.

If you’re looking for a slightly lighter option, our 40mm oak boards offer a substantial profile with a reduced weight. For more everyday applications, 25mm and 30mm oak boards provide slimmer alternatives suited to shelving and general joinery.

Our oak boards are made from kiln-dried European oak, selected for its strength, stability and natural character.

Each board is constructed using full-length staves, carefully edge-glued to create a solid and durable panel. This method ensures excellent structural integrity while maintaining a clean and consistent appearance across the surface.

All boards are machined flat, cut square and sanded smooth in our workshop before being hand-finished to highlight the natural grain of the timber.

As a natural material, every board will display its own unique grain pattern, colour variation and character features such as knots and small splits.

Boards are available either unfinished or with a protective hardwax oil finish.

Unfinished boards are sanded smooth and ready for your own treatment.

Finished boards are treated with a high-quality hardwax oil, enhancing the natural colour and grain of the oak while providing protection against everyday use.

Please note that finishes will slightly deepen the tone of the timber, and variation will occur between boards due to the natural characteristics of oak.

Boards are available with either a square edge or a natural waney edge.

Square edge boards are cleanly machined on all sides, creating a straight, uniform profile suited to modern interiors and precise installations.

Waney edge boards retain the natural outer edge of the tree, following the organic shape of the timber. This creates a more rustic, characterful appearance, with each board having a unique edge profile.

Unless otherwise specified, edges will be finished consistently to match your selected style.

Each board is made to order in our workshop.

Estimated dispatch time is 7–10 working days.

All items are carefully packaged to protect the timber during transit. Tracking details will be provided once your order has been dispatched.

Oak is a natural material, and no two boards are identical.

You can expect variation in grain pattern, colour tone and natural features such as knots and small splits.

These characteristics are part of the natural appearance of solid oak and are not considered defects.
