Tulipwood Furniture panels

• We manufacture Tulipwood panels in our workshop in Codford, Wiltshire. We control the entire process from machining kiln-dried sawn American Poplar Tulipwood timber to creating beautiful full stave panels.

• Our full stave panels are constructed from planks of Tulipwood that run the full length of the panels to ensure maximum durability and strength throughout years of constant use.

• Furniture panels are edge glued with 45mm – 90mm wide staves.

• Tulipwood panels are sanded to a 120-grit finish.

• These panels are commercial boards. All sides require trimming.

• We offer a full cutting on our Tulipwood furniture panels. If you want your panels cut to size, please email us at contact@planedoak.co.uk.
