The premium small panel: 54 x 21 x 1.5 cm of laminated plywood with black walnut faces. A compact curved surface in a dark, figured species — specified when a small element carries the visual weight of the piece: a chair back insert, a armrest pad, a decorative panel on a premium build.
What the dimensions mean
At 54 x 21 cm the panel suits small curved elements — the kind that appear as accents rather than surfaces. At 1.5 cm it presses to a pronounced curve and keeps the finished piece light. The walnut faces are the point: a deep, figured surface on a stable core, at a size where solid walnut would be wasteful and prone to movement.

Why walnut over a core
Walnut is bought for its figure, and figure is expensive in solid stock — especially at curved sections, where the blank has to be both figured and straight-grained enough to bend. A walnut face over a laminated core separates the two requirements: the face supplies the figure, the core supplies the stability and the forgiving bend. The result is a premium surface at a fraction of the solid cost, with 1–3% springback instead of 3–8%.
Figure selection and finishing
Faces are selected for figure consistency across the pieces that make up one visible element — a mismatched panel reads as a defect even when every piece is sound. Finishes: oil or hard-wax oil keeps the surface repairable and lets the figure read; clear lacquer seals it for cleaning. Walnut lightens with UV exposure over years, so a renewable finish ages better than a film finish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the face solid walnut?
The faces are walnut veneer over a laminated core; the edges show the layer lines.
How is the figure matched?
Faces are selected for figure consistency across the pieces that make up one visible element, and confirmed on the approved sample.
Can it be made larger?
Yes — dimensions are made to your drawing; the 120 x 40 cm panel is the largest standard size.
What finish keeps the figure reading?
Oil or hard-wax oil; clear lacquer where the piece will be cleaned commercially.

Programme notes
Small premium panels run on figure selection as much as on tooling. The faces are chosen board by board for figure consistency, and the approved sample is retained as the figure reference — so a re-order is matched against the original selection rather than re-selected. For contrast programmes that pair walnut accents with pale frames, we supply the walnut elements and the ash elements on matched schedules so the sets arrive together.
Panels are packed with the surface protected against scuffing — a figured walnut face that arrives marked is useless on a premium build. Every shipment carries inspection reports and the standard warranty.
