At Earthy Timber, our tailored-to-size production process ensures each oak stair tread, step has desired size. This precise customisation reduces waste, as we craft each piece to exact dimensions, avoiding the unnecessary expense of trimming standard-sized treads or dealing with mismatched results.

For those with non-standard staircase designs, custom sizing ensures a seamless fit without compromising the aesthetic or structural integrity of your home. Additionally, our approach to tailored manufacturing allows us to maximise material efficiency, which translates into savings that we pass on to our customers.

Rustic Oak Stair Treads for Modern, Traditional and Industrial Interiors

At Earthy Timber, we specialise in crafting custom rustic oak stair treads that bring together the natural charm of salvaged oak, precision kiln drying and exceptional craftsmanship. Ideal for floating staircase structures, where the beauty of each plank can be admired and seamlessly blending traditional and modern aesthetics, our oak stair treads, steps are a hallmark of quality and timeless appeal.

Wide Plank Rustic Oak Stair Steps

What sets Earthy Timber apart is our commitment to working with wide, full-length planks of salvaged oak. Each rustic oak stair step, tread is meticulously handcrafted to showcase the wood’s natural grain, knots, and occasional fissures. The result is a stunning, bold look that mimics the feel of a solid tree trunk, making it a perfect centerpiece for floating staircases. These stair steps transform functional spaces into architectural features that radiate rustic elegance.

Bespoke Craftsmanship from Salvaged Oak

Every oak stair tread we create begins with the careful selection of salvaged oak trees, chosen for their unique grain patterns and strength. Our craftsmen work tirelessly to honor the character of the wood, using advanced techniques such as resin infusion to fill and stabilise natural knots and cracks. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our solid oak stair treads celebrate the individuality of each plank, ensuring no two are alike.

Preserving Heritage with Salvaged Oak Stair Treads for Listed Buildings

Our salvaged oak stair treads are an ideal choice for listed buildings such as windmills or churches, where preserving the character of the timber is essential. Crafted with meticulous care, these oak stair treads retain the natural beauty and history of the tree, meeting the highest standards of craftsmanship while honouring the architectural integrity of the property. Compliant with The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act of 1990 and designed to preserve the character of listed buildings, their settings, and any features of special architectural or historic interest, our solid oak stair treads offer a refined and fitting solution. By using salvaged oak, we ensure not only a sustainable approach but also a product that seamlessly blends into the historic fabric of these cherished structures, maintaining their heritage for generations to come.

Ideal for Modern and Industrial Spaces

Our rustic oak stair treads, oak steps add a distinctive charm, seamlessly enhancing both modern and industrial interiors. The rich, organic texture of salvaged oak creates a striking contrast with sleek, minimalist designs, while its natural warmth softens the stark, raw features of industrial spaces. This unique versatility makes Earthy Timber’s stair treads the go-to choice for architects and designers looking to achieve a perfect harmony of authenticity and contemporary sophistication.

Advanced Wood Kiln Drying for Unmatched Quality

At Earthy Timber, quality begins with careful preparation. Each wood plank is vacuum kiln-dried in our state-of-the-art facility to ensure durability and stability. This method removes excess moisture from the wood in a controlled environment, ensuring optimal stability and strength. Unlike fast-growing trees, which have low-density structures and wider, less durable grain patterns, salvaged oak is sourced from slower-growing trees, resulting in naturally tighter grain. Kiln drying further enhances this tight grain by stabilising the fibres, increasing the density, and reducing the risk of warping or cracking over time. This process ensures that our solid wood oak stair treads not only retain their striking, organic texture but also achieve exceptional durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. The combination of structural integrity and aesthetic appeal makes Earthy Timber’s wooden stair treads a standout choice for architects and designers seeking authentic, long-lasting materials for contemporary spaces.

Stair Tread Custom Sizes and Designs for Every Project

Every staircase is unique, and so are our products. Earthy Timber offers bespoke oak stair treads, crafted to your exact dimensions and specifications. From thickness and width to edge profiles, we work closely with our clients to deliver stair treads that fit seamlessly into their space.

Countertop Width (Depth) Considerations:

– On average, the width of a live edge countertop can fluctuate within a 100mm range, depending on the natural shape of the tree, so please ensure you take this into account when specifing the countertop’s width.

Important Information about Dimensions & Natural Variations

Every solid salvaged wood countertop is individually handcrafted from carefully selected timber planks. Because every tree is unique, we do not simply manufacture to a fixed size – we carefully select the combination of boards that will create the most beautiful and visually balanced finished piece while working as close as possible to your requested dimensions.

In some cases, this may mean your countertop is manufactured slightly longer and/or wider than the dimensions requested. This is intentional and allows us to preserve the natural proportions, character, and visual impact of the timber. A small degree of oversizing is a normal part of the bespoke manufacturing process and should not be regarded as a defect.

If your project has strict dimensional requirements – for example, where the countertop must fit precisely between walls, inside a recess, or against existing cabinetry – you must let us know by adding a note in the Notes to Order section when placing your order. Please specify your minimum and/or maximum acceptable dimensions, or clearly state if the dimensions must be exact. If no such instructions are provided, we will assume there is reasonable dimensional flexibility and will manufacture your countertop as close as possible to your requested dimensions while selecting the most suitable timber to achieve the best overall visual result.

If you choose a live edge or part live edge countertop, please remember that the width will naturally fluctuate along its length, following the original profile of the tree. These natural variations are one of the defining features of genuine live edge timber and are what make every piece completely unique.

If your live edge or part live edge project is restricted by width, you must specify the minimum and/or maximum acceptable width in the Notes to Order when placing your order. If no width restrictions are provided, we will assume you are happy for us to determine the final width, prioritising the natural shape of the timber and the overall visual impact of your live edge or part live edge piece, while keeping the finished countertop as close as possible to your requested size.

Finishing Options for Solid Wood Countertops

Unfinished (Raw) – This is our most cost-effective option and represents a natural stage in the countertop’s craftsmanship journey. The unfinished wooden countertop is produced to the same high structural and material standards as all of our finished pieces and is delivered in a completely unfinished state that requires substantial additional work before installation and use.

Delivered unsanded and untreated, this option features open knots, fissures, and natural voids, along with unfinished, non-smooth edges. As this timber is sourced from salvaged trees, these characteristics are to be expected and form part of its rustic charm.

Any filling of knots or voids –  using wood filler, resin, or alternative materials – is entirely at the client’s discretion and should be guided by personal aesthetic preference and intended use. Some clients choose to retain the open features to preserve the timber’s natural, rustic character, while others prefer a smoother, more uniform surface. Extensive sanding, surface preparation, filling (if desired), and the application of a protective finish are all the responsibility of the client. This worktop is not suitable for immediate use upon delivery.

This option is best suited to customers who have the tools, experience, and time to complete the finishing process themselves. It is ideal for hands-on individuals looking to fully customise their solid wood countertop from scratch, save on finishing costs, and create a truly unique piece tailored to their space.

Please note: tables and desks are only available as fully finished, fully protected products.

Fine Sanding Only (Ready for application of the protective finish of your choice) – Offered at a modestly higher cost than our raw (unfinished) option, the sanded countertop is supplied with a fully sanded, smooth surface that is ready for immediate application of the protective finish of your choice. Prominent natural features are professionally filled using resin or organic fillers to enhance visual appearance while preserving the wood’s natural character. Select features may be intentionally left open where they contribute to the piece’s overall aesthetic and natural charm. This option significantly reduces preparation time and is ideal for clients seeking a refined, semi-finished surface without the labour associated with full raw preparation.

Important note for the countertops that require on-site modifications – if your countertop requires on-site size adjustments or cutouts, you should choose either ‘unfinished’ or ‘sanded only’ option. This is because any pre-applied protective finish will be disrupted during your modifications, resulting in visible inconsistencies. If a pre-finished countertop is cut or altered on-site, the newly exposed, and treated by you areas, will not perfectly match the rest of the surface, leading to noticeable patchiness. To ensure a smooth, even finish, we recommend completing all size adjustments and/or cutouts first, then applying the protective treatment of your choice to the entire surface for a flawless result.

Professional Finishing – if  you want to receive your solid wood countertop ready to be used immediately (please note this option is only suitable for countertops that do not require on-site cut-outs or size adjustments), our in-house finishing service is the right choice. We offer 3 protective finishing options. Our natural oil finish enhances the wood’s natural depth and autumnal tones by penetrating deeper layers of timber. If you prefer to maintain the original light tones and textures, our transparent matt lacquer finish forms a barrier against damage without altering the wood’s natural appearance. For additional durability, you can also upgrade l to our signature, maintenance free waterproof protection (additional costs apply).

Fine sanding + subtle sheen oil

The unique properties of oil gradually enrich the wood’s grain, deepening its natural hues and enhancing its warm, autumnal tones.  As the oil penetrates the deeper layers of the solid wood countertop, it creates a protective effect that helps prevent damage even as the top layer naturally fades over time.

One of the key advantages of an oil finish is its easy maintenance – surface imperfections can be repaired with sanding and fresh re-application. However, oil-finished surfaces are more prone to marking from liquids, making them less suitable for kitchens, bathrooms or utility rooms.

To keep your solid wood countertop nourished and looking its best, regular re-oiling with light sanding between the coats is essential. This finish is ideal for those who appreciate the natural beauty of wood and don’t mind the upkeep required to maintain its charm.

Please note that an oil finish naturally has a subtle sheen and may bring out slightly orangey undertones in the wood – particularly in lighter species such as oak, ash, or elm.

Fine sanding + matt lacquer 

Our matt lacquer finish offers natural look while providing a low-maintenance protection for solid wood countertops. As a cost-effective, water-resistant solution, it is ideal for surfaces exposed to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms, as well as solid wood tables and breakfast bars.

We offer our lacquer in a matt finish as standard, unless a gloss finish is specifically requested. However, we would advise against opting for gloss finish – it tends to highlight every mark and scratch, making it a less forgiving choice over time.

Unlike oil, which deepens the wood’s tones, matt lacquer preserves the wood’s original colour palette while adding a transparent protective layer. The matt finish not only enhances the wood’s natural beauty but also helps conceal scratches and marks, making it a practical choice for everyday use.

Fine sandding + waterproof protection + oil / lacquer – matt finish effect

live edge oak desktop by earthy timber waterproof wood protection

Our exclusive, no-maintenance waterproof protection, developed in-house by Earthy Timber, is applied in a vacuum environment –  a process unavailable anywhere else. This cutting-edge treatment provides the highest level of resistance against scratches, stains, and moisture while preserving the natural beauty and tactile feel of your solid wood countertop.

Designed for heavy-use surfaces such as dining tables and bathroom countertops, this advanced finish is highly resistant to water, heat, alcohol, and food acids. It also features a non-yellowing, UV-protected formula, ensuring your countertop remains flawless for years without the need for reapplication.

With its matt finish, Earthy Timber’s waterproof protection amplifies the wood’s natural grain and tones, adding depth while maintaining its organic beauty. Unlike glossy finishes that may alter the timber’s appearance, our waterproof treatment enhances the wood’s character in a subtle, authentic way.
