Hardwood Thins

Hardwood Thins are precision-dimensioned hardwood boards sized for detail work and smaller-scale projects. Each piece measures approximately 3/8" thick × ~4" wide × ~18–24" long - an ideal format for makers who need character-rich wood without the bulk of a full board.

Current species include walnut, beefwood, wenge, purple heart, padauk, camphor, and sapele, with more species added regularly. Each piece showcases the natural grain and color variation that makes these domestic and exotic hardwoods stand out.

Popular Uses

  • Knife & Tool Handle Scales - The thin profile and manageable length make these a go-to choice for custom knife handles, chisel handles, and hand tool grips. Dense species like wenge and walnut offer exceptional durability and a premium feel.
  • Small Boxes & Jewelry Cases - Perfect for box sides, lid panels, and inlay work. The consistent thickness simplifies joinery, and the vivid figure of species like purple heart and padauk adds visual impact to finished pieces.
  • Inlay, Overlay & Decorative Accents - Use these boards for furniture inlay strips, guitar binding, picture frames, and decorative overlays. The variety of grain patterns and natural colors - from camphor's swirling figure to sapele's ribbon stripe - gives makers a versatile palette.
