Choose a walnut worktop if you are after a timeless classic
Last Updated on October 7, 2020
One of the most stand out pieces you will own, a walnut worktop has a deep, rich colour and an energetic wavy pattern throughout that seems to tell its own story. Our walnut is sourced from around the Black Sea and is often chosen to bring warmth and a sense of luxury into your kitchen or work space.
We ensure that each and every worktop we make is uniquely glorious as each individual stave hue connects with another. The difference in pattern and colour between each 40mm width cut stave will create a balance that is unique to your final piece. Colours range from deep browns through to many golden hues and can end in a smokey grey. This cocktail of colour coupled with flowing curls and swirls that crash into one another as each stave joins into another is a proud representation of the majestic walnut tree itself.
It is very important to us that we are able to capture the beauty of the walnut wood that we use, and provide you with a diverse range of beauty that when seen as a whole becomes harmonic and is to be enjoyed and marveled.
What else can I benefit from by using this timber?
Not only is a walnut worktop one of the most popular of benchtops that we have available because of its beauty, they are also created to last a lifetime as this timber is well known as one of the hardest and most durable timbers available. Walnut is strong, hard and stable and is second only to oak in regards to its microstructure density. It is also one of the few timbers which grows extremely valuable roots as well.
We extract walnut roots and make use of it in other high-end accessories. However, about 80% of the root material is returned to us to again be used in the benchtop making process. We therefore often combine beautiful timber trunk pieces with other elements of the root creating extremely eye catching pieces that are unique to our workshop.
How do I make the most of this kind of timber in my space?
You have some creative freedom when it comes to exploring colour options that compliment this timeless wood choice. It really depends on your personal taste and what the final feel of your kitchen is to be. If you are after a sophisticated touch, then darker toned cabinets really set this tone.
However, you can also couple your walnut benchtop with off-whites and pale greens throughout the kitchen or work space which bring a more delicate and airy feel.
