What are resawn wagon boards?

A standard wagon board isn't always right for every job. When we resaw an oak wagon board, we saw it in half lengthways, giving you two thin oak boards that are ideal for cladding walls or making new cabinet fronts, for example.

Features of a resawn wagon board:

  • About 16 millimetres thick
  • A distinct top and underside
  • Available planed or brushed

Possible finishes

Characterful looks with a warm feel

Resawn wagon boards come in two finishes. The planed version is clean-lined but warm: think light old oak with a beautiful grain and the characteristic marks of its past. Brushed wood is more rugged and darker, and you can clearly see the typical seams and cracks left by the years.

Resawn wagon boards are available in oak, pine and tropical hardwood.

Styling your interior with thin oak boards

Old oak boards suit almost any interior, whether it's modern, industrial or country style. This wood is ideal for:

  • Wall cladding
  • Cladding your bed frame
  • Kitchen cabinets and doors

The famous IKEA kitchen hack

Have you heard of the IKEA kitchen hack? It's a quick way to upgrade a basic kitchen. With resawn wagon boards you can easily make your own custom IKEA kitchen doors, which gives the whole kitchen a completely different look and saves you the cost of a brand new one.
