Step 1: Sand the surface of the wooden board smooth and remove dust.
Step 2: Apply a primer to close the pores.
Step 3: Seal the board with clear varnish, oil or wax, depending on the desired finish.
Step 4: Allow the sealant to dry thoroughly and apply a second coat if necessary.

Solid wood panels made of teak or oak are particularly suitable as they are durable, moisture-resistant and cut-resistant.

Solid wood panels: Consist of continuous wood, are more stable, more durable and can be sanded down several times.
Veneer panels: Have a thin layer of wood on a carrier board, are lighter and cheaper, but less robust.

Light and stable boards such as 18 mm thick solid wood are ideal for shelves and cabinet carcasses.

Pay attention to the type of wood (e.g. teak).
Check the workmanship and surface quality.
Make sure the board is FSC-certified to ensure sustainability.
Choose the right thickness for your intended use.
