What are extra-wide wagon boards?

Extra-wide wagon boards are wide oak boards made from several planed oak wagon boards. They are edge-glued so tightly that you can't see the joins, so each extra-wide board looks like a single piece of wood.

Standard versus extra-wide wagon boards

Extra-wide wagon boards come in widths of 25 to 40 centimetres. A standard wagon board is 10 to 25 centimetres wide. The thicknesses are virtually the same: 35mm, 40mm and 60mm.

Made to meet the demand for wide oak boards

People regularly asked us whether we had wide oak planks made from reclaimed wood. Woodworkers often use them for furniture where a wider board comes in handy. With extra-wide wagon boards you can give tables, kitchen cabinets and doors a clean finish, because you can hardly see that they are made up of several pieces.

Need something even wider?

Then take a look at our reclaimed oak panels. They are made of old oak from the walls and floors of old buildings, and from old goods wagons too, so they look much like extra-wide wagon boards. The panels are 62 centimetres wide and around 250 centimetres long.

What do extra-wide wagon boards cost?

What you pay for extra-wide wagon boards depends on what you need. The wood comes in different sizes, and the quantity you buy plays a part too. Hout met Historie works with a lot of furniture makers, interior designers and kitchen makers. Do you work with wood a lot too?
