Solid Timber Bench Tops
A solid timber bench top brings warmth to the heart of your home
The touchability and aliveness of real wood elevates your kitchen experience whether it is cooking for your family or casually dining at your kitchen island. The many different wood options we use to create our timber bench tops ensure there is a type to suit any style of your kitchen. As well as sustainably sourced new timbers, we also offer reclaimed timber options such as recycled Messmate.
A hardwearing finish for a well-loved home
We seal all our timber bench tops with Osmo – a high-performance natural oil and wax that protects the wood from moisture while still being easy to care for. This finish enhances the details rather than hiding the natural beauty of the wood. Unlike a two-pack finish, the Osmo natural oil and wax finish is fixable in the inevitable case of a scratch and is non- toxic, low VOC and even toy safe.
Recycled and Sustainable Timber Options
Ranging from the ash blonde American Oak to the rich red of Jarrah, there is a sustainably sourced or recycled wood that is perfect for the colour scheme and aesthetic of your kitchen. Feature grade timbers such as Messmate are known for their beautiful sap line which are hand-filled to accentuate their unique and stunning character. Selecting a timber with a natural tone to suit your style has much better longevity than applying a stain.

We are only able to install our bench tops within our local surfcoast area, Geelong and in Melbourne. The process takes 3 visits to apply all the coats of finish.

As long as the items are not too large to freight, we can create stand-alone bench tops such as for a kitchen Island.
For other benches between walls and with joins to other bench tops, if your builder or tradesperson is happy to cut to size onsite and apply the three coats of finish we can manufacture only.

As long as the finish is cared for correctly it is stain and water-resistant.
The only product that is safe to clean the timber is the Osmo wash and care product. This has been designed to clean whilst protecting the finish.
Every 3-6 months the Osmo liquid wax cleaner needs to be applied to top up the finish.
