Adze carved oak panels

Carved & Sculptured Panels

High quality decorative products
Carved Panel: Adze pattern - Three-layer solid beech panel
  • Panels start at 8mm thickness
  • Produced to order in special sizes if required
  • Bespoke patterns can be produced to your specific design
  • Can be tileable - the pattern is matched across panels in all directions
  • Supplied unfinished or prefinished with lacquer, oil, wax, paint or flexible laminate
  • Some designs can be supplied carved into solid wood or plywood

Overview

Our selection of advanced, deeply contoured & gouged panels is available in a variety of high-performance materials, tailored to meet precise design specifications.

Standard material options include a range of high-quality 3-layer solid timber panels for a rich, natural aesthetic, premium specialty plywoods such as beech and birch throughout plywood, and deep-rout / through-coloured MDF for durability, finish quality, and visual appeal.

Should you require a specific texture or design, we can convert your concepts into sculpted panels with deep contours, subject to the technical constraints of the chosen material and carving process.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss your project and explore tailored solutions for your needs.

Standard patterns & finishes

The digital renderings below demonstrate the wide range of visual effects that can be achieved using our standard materials and designs.

Bespoke designs can also potentially be discussed to match your unique vision and help you bring your design ideas to life.

Technical Information

  • Construction
    • Single or multiple layers of the following materials with one surface machined to a deep, repeating pattern
    • (Carving a product such as plywood with multiple thin layers will expose the colours/grain beneath the surface)
    • Reverse of panel is typically grooved or laminated to help minimize bowing due to machining process being performed to one side only - especially important with heavier patterns
  • Material options
    • Solid lumber panels (3-layer solid wood panels)
    • Deep rout MDF
    • Single or multiple layers of through-coloured MDF
    • Closed-core plywoods such as beech plywood (best machining results are achieved with unidirectional veneer core)
    • Lower quality plywoods such as birch plywood can be machined with some success in certain designs - the main considerations being change in direction and dark glue line contrasting with or discolouring the colour of the inner plies
    • Reverse of MDF panels are typically laminated or grooved - particularly with deeper designs - to help minimize bowing due to machining process being performed to one side only
  • Pattern height
    • Varies with design: 3mm-12mm
  • Minimum Thickness
    • MDF = 8mm
    • Hardwood = 20mm
    • Plywood = 9mm
    • Subject to suitability of carving design
  • Standard sizes
    • Produced to order in bespoke sizes
  • Pattern repeat
    • 2400x1200mm in most cases (where tileable)
  • Special sizes
    • Determined by material used and quantity required
    • In principle, panels can be supplied up to 3600x1500mm (subject to core availability)
