Timber Panels

Solid timber panels are used for furniture, joinery and custom woodworking projects where you want the look, strength and feel of real timber. They are popular for dining tables, desks, benchtops, entertainment units, shelving, cabinetry, wall features and furniture making projects. Hammer Roo’s timber panels are crafted from solid timber, with no veneers or MDF.

Solid timber panels are made from real timber all the way through, while veneer panels usually have a thin timber surface layer over a different core material such as MDF, plywood or particleboard. Solid timber panels are a better choice when you want a premium timber finish, the ability to sand and refinish the surface, and a more authentic timber look for furniture or feature projects.

Yes. Solid timber panels are a great option for dining tables, desks, worktops and furniture tops. They give you a ready-to-use timber surface without needing to laminate boards yourself, making them a good choice for DIY woodworkers, furniture makers and trade customers who want to save time while still using real timber.

Choose the timber panel size based on your finished project and how much cutting, trimming or shaping you need to do. Smaller panels such as 1220mm lengths are useful for shelves, cabinets, small desks, side tables and furniture components. Larger 2420mm panels are better suited to dining tables, long desks, benchtops, entertainment units and larger joinery projects. Hammer Roo’s timber panel range includes 1220mm and 2420mm lengths.

Remove any dust and apply a suitable timber finish based on how the piece will be used. Hardwax oils, timber oils and durable furniture finishes are popular options for timber panels because they help protect the surface while bringing out the natural grain. For dining tables, desks and benchtops, choose a finish that suits the level of wear, moisture and cleaning the surface will receive.
