Bespoke oak worktops and breakfast bar with resin infill and bark preserved
Our customers from New Forest recently invited us back for lunch and were kind enough to let us snap a few photos of their kitchen featuring our full stave character worktops with resin infill. Sue and Richard contacted us looking for a complete wooden-surface solution as the final piece to their stunning house extension and we are thrilled about sharing the results with you.
Sue & Richard chose to have our modern-rustic range of oak surfaces to finish their house extension in style. The project features long stave oak tops with matching single-plank shelves, upstands and window sills. The worktops have been cleverly reinforced with end cups of both ends for aesthetic and durability purposes (to protect the timber from the heat generated by the cooker) Sue and Richard also opted for our innovative bark preservation technique, which preserves the bark in a hard, transparent resin capsule – perfect for those who love the natural qualities of wood. We have also included resin inserts over knots and voids, covering them in a clear blanket that enhances the organic characteristics of their surface whilst making it hygienic use and resistant to wear.
It’s safe to say the outcome is a truly authentic and thought-through design that beautifully accents the warm brick wall and oak floor. Sue and Richard came to us knowing exactly seeing the examples of our work on our website, it was then up to us make the concept come alive. Richard and Sue also came up with the brilliant idea to make matching cheeseboards and breadboards from sink and hob cut-outs, further contributing to harmony within the all-new addition to their home.
We’ve had a great time catching up with Richard, Sue, their daughter Emma and her lovely son Alex. It’s delightful to hear that our customers are so pleased with the results. We now look forward to the future and the projects ahead, no matter how wild and abstract they may be. We love a challenge…give us a try.
