Case Study: Bespoke Oak Kitchen Worktops with Live Edge Peninsula

Handcrafted Solid Oak Worktops with a Live Edge Peninsula for a Reimagined Rustic Kitchen

Bespoke English oak worktops with a sink cut-out and peninsula breakfast bar, precision-measured and handcrafted to fit our customer’s softly lit rustic interior.

The straight-edged oak surfaces flow seamlessly through the kitchen into the dining area, culminating in a striking live edge peninsula.

When we redesigned our kitchen, I knew I had to get the worktops just right, as they really can make or break how a kitchen looks.

Design & Aesthetic

Clean Lines Meet Organic Form

The crisp, linear edges throughout the kitchen create a clean and highly functional workspace, while the waney edge peninsula introduces a softer, sculptural focal point.

Natural Character Enhanced

Dark resin infill subtly enriches the oak’s natural grain, infusing knots and organic voids to add depth and visual intrigue.

Anna was incredibly helpful from the beginning… Adam chose the wood carefully based on what we wanted.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Solid English Oak

A satin varnish finish enhances the warm tones of the oak, harmonising beautifully with the hardwood flooring and contrasting cabinetry.

Sustainable Sourcing

The timber was locally salvaged and vacuum kiln-dried, ensuring both environmental responsibility and long-term durability.

They look amazing… Thank you so much for doing such an incredible job with them ❤️
