· The Trail 58 ·
Chunky 58 mm blocks, each one split by hand.
No two splits are ever the same.
More than just wood
EmotionWood has crafted eco-friendly wood design panels in Estonia since 2014, where nature and design meet in balance. Every panel is made by hand by skilled artisans, guided by Nordic values of quality and responsibility.
Which is why these panels aren't only a surface to look at. They're solid-wood panels that earn their place on the wall: acoustically, environmentally and for years.
Made in Estonia. Defined by quality. EmotionWood · Tallinn
Natural wood improves acoustics, thermal comfort and indoor climate, so spaces feel calmer, not just look richer.
Solid timber right through, not a veneer over board, so it can be cut, sanded and lived with.
A distinctive EmotionWood pattern, handcrafted and made to your order in Estonia: originality you can specify with confidence.
Eco-friendly production, with technical and installation data sheets: the paperwork trade and architect specs ask for.
Where it lives
Why it lasts
The Trail Series is solid natural wood, split by hand so every block keeps its own raw, textured face. The Trail 58 lays those splits in bold relief across the wall, catching the light and bringing real, tactile depth to a room.
Pattern · Hand-split face
Every block is split by hand, never machine-cut, so each face keeps the raw grain and edge the tree gave it. Laid together across the Trail 58, the bold blocks read as one living, textured wall.
Material · Solid natural wood
Solid timber, never veneer. Thermo-treated finishes are kilned until stable and darker through the body; natural species keep their own raw colour.
Finishes · Four characters
From pale natural Oak and Ash to warm Thermoash and deep, exotic Walnut, the same hand-split panel carries four very different moods. Keep it monolithic, or mix tones across a wall.
Application · Indoor & sauna-safe
Thermo finishes handle a living-room feature wall and the heat-and-steam of a sauna interior alike. Natural finishes are for dry interior spaces.
Install · Glue or brad nail
Fix straight to a clean, level wall with a heat- and moisture-resistant silicone, or brad-nail to timber battens. Work row by row; most rooms are clad in an afternoon.
Origin · Made in Estonia
Designed and made by EmotionWood in Tallinn, split and finished to your order before it is flat-packed and shipped.
The finishes
One panel, one pattern; the character comes from the wood. Every finish is solid, hand-finished timber, cut and laid by hand in Estonia.
Warm mid-brown thermo-treated ash. Stable in heat and steam, with the tone running right through the wood.
Pale, natural oak with an open, characterful grain. For dry interior spaces.
Light, natural ash with a soft, even grain. For dry interior spaces.
Deep, rich chocolate-brown walnut with dramatic grain. A premium natural finish for dry interiors.
Japanese charred finish, deep charcoal-black with a scorched grain. Swatch photo coming soon.
Installation
Two honest ways to fix the panels: bond straight to a flat wall with adhesive, or brad-nail to battens. No specialist trade required: a clean wall, a level, and a steady row-by-row rhythm.
Best on a flat, dry, load-tested wall. No battens needed; the wall itself is the substrate.
The fastest route for a sound, level wall. A heat- and moisture-resistant silicone holds the panels flush with no visible fixings.
Best when the wall is uneven; the battens create a true, ventilated plane to fix into.
The forgiving route for walls that aren't dead flat. Straight, level battens give a true plane; stainless brads hold the panels invisibly at the joints.
Whichever way you fix them, start top-left, then work down and across so each row locks into the last.

Common questions
A real human is one click away, but most of what we get asked is right here.
Talk to a specialistEach box holds 12 panels and covers about 1.0 m². Panels are 120 × 765 mm with a coverage of 0.084 m² each. Order by the square metre, and allow 5 to 10% extra for cuts and waste.
Yes, with a thermo finish. Thermo-treated finishes like Thermoash are made for heat and humidity and are used in sauna interiors. For wet areas, complete any wet works first and treat the wood with a breathable protector. Never pressure-wash the panels.
Yes: solid wood, 24 mm thick, with every face split by hand. Thermo finishes are colour-treated by heat (the tone runs through, no stain); natural finishes like Oak and Ash keep their raw colour. Expect natural variation between panels and batches.
Both are the same 120 × 765 mm panel, split by hand. Trail 23 is a finer, more linear split of about 23 mm strips; Trail 58 is a bolder, chunkier split of about 58 mm blocks with deeper relief. Pick 23 for a subtle texture, 58 for a dramatic, sculptural wall.
Two ways: glue straight to a clean, level wall with a heat- and moisture-resistant silicone, or brad-nail to timber battens. We recommend a brad nailer with stainless brads, or a quality construction silicone. Work row by row from the top.
Yes. We price by the square metre, with trade and architect rates for larger projects. Talk to a specialist for a project quote.
