Paulownia VJ lining boards

Ideal for ceilings and walls. Supplied raw and unfinished, which many customers prefer for van fitouts and tiny homes because of VOC concerns. Our standard size is 90×10 mm, giving 80 mm of coverage, so you need 12.5 L/M per m². Paulownia is stable, light and takes a variety of finishes. For large orders we can also supply the boards finished and ready to install, with a high quality polyurethane finish.

Alaia & paipo blanks

24 mm thick, made from Paulownia strips glued with a high-strength, fully waterproof polyurethane adhesive. The 600×2400 mm blank allows an alaia up to about 7ft 10in, with plenty of room to cut and shape creatively. Most customers build boards around 6ft 8in (2000 mm); we can pencil an outline onto your blank from our templates.

Made to order from specifications up to 50×250×3000 mm as standard (longer lengths on request), priced per lineal metre. Our 4-side moulder has a maximum width of 230 mm, so anything narrower can be supplied dressed all round (DAR).

Surf hand plane blanks

Ready-to-shape blanks, a great activity for school technology and TAS classes. We also offer strap kits (2 injection-moulded plugs, a braided paracord leash and a neoprene wrist strap); pricing depends on quantity, with good discounts for bulk orders.

Guitar blank panels

Large 40 mm edge-glued panels, 1200×2400 mm with the grain running lengthways. One panel yields 8 to 12 guitar bodies depending on nesting, a cost-effective alternative to gluing up DAR timber yourself. We sell full panels only, but will happily cut them to your requirements to greatly reduce freight.

40×1200×2400 mm$310

Need something custom?

We regularly produce longer lengths and custom profiles on request. Pre-cut blanks for fishing lures, acoustic guitar bodies, or fully CNC-cut wooden surfboard blanks: we have the machinery and stock to make it happen. In-house CNC routing of our 24×600×2400 mm panels also produces project kits for schools.
