Resin Infused Walnut Worktops: Showcasing Nature’s Elegance with Artistic Flair
The walnut worktops by Earthy Timber showcase resin infusions that possess a truly remarkable and captivating quality. We carefully craft them using salvaged walnut planks sourced exclusively from sustainable woodlands and private estates throughout the UK and Europe. To ensure their longevity and prevent warping, we subject these wood slabs to a meticulous vacuum kiln drying process right on our premises. With great attention to detail, we hand-select each walnut plank based on your chosen setting, taking into account the natural and unique markings, cracks, and striations in the timber. To enhance the natural beauty, we delicately infuse the wood planks with epoxy resin, creating stunning surfaces that are smooth, captivating and reminiscent of the wonders of nature.
Resin infusions in walnut worktops are a technique used by Earthy Timber to enhance the natural beauty of salvaged wood while also addressing practical considerations. By incorporating resin into the timber worktop, the unique characteristics of the wood, such as its open grain patterns and striations, are highlighted and emphasized resulting in a smooth and even kitchen surface. This not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the wooden worktop but also ensures a hygienic and easy-to-maintain surface.
Kitchen Worktop Edging Choices. Live Edge Walnut Worktops vs. Contemporary Countertops
Live edge walnut worktops offer a captivating blend of rustic charm and contemporary sophistication. With their natural, untrimmed, smoothed edges that showcase the tree’s original shape, these worktops bring a unique and organic touch to any space. The rich, warm tones and intricate grain patterns of English walnut wood further enhance the visual appeal, creating a stunning focal point in kitchens or any area where a touch of natural elegance is desired.
The live edge design celebrates the inherent beauty of the wood, preserving its unique characteristics and imperfections. Each worktop tells a story, with knots, cracks, and variations in colour and texture adding character and individuality. This distinctive feature makes every live edge walnut worktop a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, reflecting the beauty of nature in its purest form.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, live edge walnut worktops also offer practical benefits. The durable and sturdy nature of walnut wood ensures longevity, making them suitable for daily use. The smooth, polished surface provides a comfortable and hygienic workspace, while the natural oils present in walnut wood offer inherent resistance to bacteria and moisture.
Whether used as a kitchen countertop, a walnut desk, or a statement piece river table in a dining area, live edge walnut worktops effortlessly blend functionality with artistic flair. They create a warm and inviting atmosphere, inviting a connection to nature within the confines of modern living spaces. With their timeless beauty and versatility, live edge walnut worktops are a perfect choice for those seeking to infuse their surroundings with natural elegance and a touch of rustic sophistication.
Our modern – rustic wood worktops in walnut are available with a series of different edging choices that add interest and compliment its given surroundings. For a more rural and rustic appeal, we can offer our live edging style which follows the natural shape of the tree, or for a more modern and contemporary feel, we can offer our straight/ square edging style. Alternatively, we can offer our mixed edging which offers a combination of both edging styles.
Whether your desired environment is a modern apartment in the city or a rural cottage, our bespoke full stave wooden worktops are guaranteed to add beauty and interest and with the right finish can be incorporated into commercial premises too such as bars, pubs, restaurants, office spaces and hotels.

Determining the Ideal Thickness for Wooden Worktops
Walnut worktops have long been admired for their timeless beauty and durability. One important consideration when choosing a walnut worktop is its thickness, as it can greatly impact the overall aesthetic and functionality of the space.
Thin and Sleek Wooden Countertops in Walnut 18mm 20mm 25mm

Typically ranging from 18mm to 25mm in thickness, these sleek modern surfaces create a streamlined and contemporary feel.

When choosing a walnut worktop, considering the thickness is crucial in achieving the desired aesthetic and functionality.

Thick worktops, on the other hand, add a sense of grandeur and are perfect for traditional settings. By carefully selecting the thickness that best suits your style and needs, you can create a stunning and harmonious space that showcases the natural beauty of walnut in both modern and traditional settings.
Which wood finish is most ideal for a kitchen worktop?
We offer two primary choices for finishing, each ensuring adequate protection against harm and deterioration while diligently preserving the inherent earthy tones and textures. Initially, a clear transparent lacquer acts as a robust stronghold, shielding against potential water damage. This option effectively safeguards your item, maintaining its original appearance.
Secondly, our water-based oil treatment possesses the remarkable ability to penetrate the timber, establishing numerous layers of protection and amplifying the natural hues, resulting in captivating autumn-inspired tones. The utilisation of this treatment method promises a stunning enhancement of colour.
Our superior signature wood waterproof finish for kitchen worktops is a protective fnishing that helps to prevent water damage and stains, ensuring the longevity and durability of the wood countertop whilst preserving the natural appearance of timber. This superb, developed in house finish penetrates deeper layers of timber as well as forms a barrier that repels water, making it easy to clean. The waterproofed wood worktop does not require ongoing maintenance.

We ordered walnut worktops made of full stave walnut planks, and they look fantastic. They give our kitchen a sophisticated feel with the natural variation of dark chocolaty and gold hues. The countertop stretches from kitchen island to floating breakfast bar/ table area and is very detailed, with a wonderful balance of rusticness and modern form, thanks to resin details in fissures and open knots. The resin infill also makes the walnut worktop very hygienic to use. I was a little bit nervous about ordering a rather expensive kitchen worktop online, but when it arrived perfect size to fit our kitchen island, the end result exceeded our expectations. Thank you Earthy Timber!

Having thoroughly researched several companies, we ultimately decided to choose Earthy Timber. What set them apart was not only their ability to provide the exact sizes we were seeking, but also their exceptional, personal and very responsive customer service. Anna, in particular, promptly addressed all of our inquiries. Upon placing our order, we were conveniently given the option to schedule the delivery date to coincide with the kitchen installation. The entire process went incredibly smoothly, and the walnut worktops with resin infusions now look absolutely fantastic. In fact, the kitchen designers were so impressed with Earthy Timber that they requested their contact details to pass along to their own clients. 18 months have passed since then, and I am still incredibly satisfied with the outcome. I am more than happy to highly recommend Earthy Timber – they truly deserve a 5 out of 5 star rating in my book!
