PORTFOLIO

European Oak

European Oak is a real classic for kitchens and creates a stunning bench top. A light to medium toned timber, it has a warm character both in the grain and the end grain.

There is a good reason why European Oak has been used for table tops for centuries, it is hard, durable and with its antibacterial properties, it makes an excellent choice for a kitchen bench.

Often called French Oak, our European Oak is sourced from plantations in Western Europe. It is a coarse-textured wood with distinctive growth rings and has medullary rays as a major feature of the quarter sawn staves. The end grain is so impressive it should be featured and not be hidden away.

Our European Ash timber tops are manufactured from top quality furniture grade timber that is quarter sawn, finger-jointed into ~40mm staves and pressure bonded to form a durable top. They are supplied with a square edge and sanded to a 100 grit finish.

They come in 4000 x 1220 sheets and are available in 42mm and 32mm thicknesses. Let us know the size you require and we’ll cut it for you.
