A signature style with walnut worktops
Last Updated on October 7, 2020
When you think of a walnut tree, it is likely that fond memories emerge of the majestic tree that once graced a backyard or lined the streets or park edges in your childhood. Even if you were not fortunate enough to have a walnut tree somewhere stored in your childhood memories, the tree itself inspires the imagination of gnarled, characteristic trees that held faces in its bark, offered gifts of walnuts in the autumn and of children knocking these down with balls or sticks and cracking them open, enjoying the fruits of their labour.
Walnut worktops are an opportunity to embrace these memories and feelings, all within the heart of your home; the centrepiece of your kitchen. The gorgeous and rich colour varieties that are found in the walnut timber, coupled with the deep wavy curls, really are brought alive in walnut worktops.
A truly luxurious quality centrepiece will surely be noticed and adored if you choose such a bold colour and style as one of our walnut worktops to grace your space. Every stave has the ability to tell its own story and you can be lost for hours staring into its pages as it weaves colourful notes and takes you on a journey of wonder and delight in your own imagination.
How can we capture this timber’s beauty so well?
The magic of this timber can be played out in its entirety by our use of standard or deluxe cut staves that give you a vast variation of diverse colours and patterns in the final result. We embrace the imperfections that this woo has to offer, giving you deep swirls and knots alongside more minimalistic staves in colours of smokey grey, golden honey, or deep, rich browns. The final result is a feast on the eyes that you can enjoy for a lifetime in your home.
We love working with walnut timbers because of this. The inconsistency from each piece of wood to the next is rewarding to develop and it is brilliant to see the final piece emerge. We often say that the ‘whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ and this doesn’t hold more true than with one of our worktops that are designed with walnut timber.
What else is so remarkable about walnut?
Aside from its beauty, the strength of the wood is remarkable, allowing us to confidently offer you a near lifetime of use out of your worktop. It certainly is one of our hardest materials that we work with and this is further amplified by where we source it, where the conditions are harsh and make for an even stronger wood than from its counterpart found in other locations across the globe.
Have a look in our gallery to see for yourself some of the masterpieces that we have designed by simply honouring this beautiful wood in its entirety. By having such a complex pattern and with such diversity in colour and style, we are so pleased with the final results that emerge and we are sure you will be as well.
