Finger-Joint Boards
Finger-joint boards: solid wood, jointed to stay straight.
Edge- and end-jointed hardwood, kiln-dried and machined flat — for stair treads, table tops, worktops and frames that won't cup or twist. Shipped FOB Cochin.

Why finger-joint
Solid wood that behaves like engineered wood.
Stays flat
Jointing short staves relieves the internal stress that makes solid planks cup and twist.
Kiln-dried and stable
Dried to a controlled moisture content, so it holds its dimensions through finishing and shipping.
Cut to your list, FOB Cochin
Made to your widths and lengths and loaded by the container, the same board each order.
Why finger-jointed board exists
Short lengths of good timber, jointed end to end and edge-glued into a panel. You get the working properties of solid wood in a width and length solid wood cannot economically reach.
| Property | What it means on your line |
|---|---|
| Dimensional stability | The joints break up the grain runs that make wide solid boards cup and twist. |
| Width without a wide log | Panels far wider than the tree, without the price of a wide board. |
| Machines like solid wood | Routes, moulds, takes screws and finishes like timber — unlike a particle core. |
| Yield | Uses shorts that would otherwise be waste, which is why it competes on cost. |
Where it is specified
Furniture work where the panel is seen and worked, rather than hidden behind a laminate.
- Table and desk tops where a solid-timber look is required across a wide panel.
- Cabinet carcasses and shelving that must hold screws at the edge.
- Stair treads and risers needing stability underfoot.
- Door and window components machined from panel stock.
- Worktops finished clear or oiled, where the joint pattern is part of the look.
Questions buyers ask
Finger-joint boards, answered.
What is a finger-joint board?
A solid-wood board made by joining short hardwood staves end-to-end (and edge-to-edge) with interlocking "finger" joints, then kiln-drying and machining flat — giving a stable solid-wood panel.
How is it different from block board or plywood?
It is solid timber throughout (no veneers or batten core), so it shows a real wood face and machines like solid wood — ideal for treads and worktops.
Which species do you offer?
Rubberwood, mango and mixed hardwoods, kiln-dried, in 16–40 mm.
What is the minimum order?
By the container load (FCL), FOB Cochin Port, cut to your sizes.

What is the minimum order for finger-joint boards?
By the container load (FCL), FOB Cochin Port, cut to your sizes.
What species is the board?
Rubberwood is the standard — plantation-grown, consistent in colour and density, and it takes a clear finish well. Other species are quoted on request.
Will the finger joints show after finishing?
Under a clear or oiled finish the joint pattern is visible and is generally accepted as the character of the product. Under paint or laminate it disappears. Tell us the finish and we will select the grade accordingly.
Can it be supplied cut to size?
Yes. Panels are cut to your sizes so your line machines rather than breaks down sheets. Send the cutting list.
How does it compare with particle board for furniture?
It machines and holds screws like solid timber, which particle board does not, and it can be finished clear. Particle board is the more economical substrate where the surface will be fully covered.
