What is the best way to seal this oak worktop?
We recommend applying a food-safe wood oil, such as tung oil or Danish oil, before use and periodically thereafter. Ensure thorough application and drying according to the oil manufacturer's instructions.
Can I cut this worktop to a smaller size?
Yes, the solid oak worktop can be cut to size using appropriate woodworking tools. Remember to sand the cut edges smooth and reapply the oil finish to protect them.
How often should I re-oil the worktop?
The frequency depends on usage and environment. A general guideline is every 6-12 months, or whenever the surface appears dry or water no longer beads up.
Is the color and grain pattern consistent across all worktops?
No, each worktop is made from solid oak and features unique natural variations in color and grain. The delivery is random, so your piece will be one-of-a-kind.
Can this worktop be used outdoors?

Troubleshooting
Worktop has uneven color or grain.
This is a natural characteristic of solid oak wood. Each piece is unique. Ensure you understand that variations are expected and part of the product's charm.
Worktop surface feels dry or rough.
The worktop needs re-oiling. Apply a fresh coat of wood oil following the care instructions to restore its smooth finish and protection.
Minor scratches or dents appear.
Light scratches can often be buffed out after re-oiling. For deeper dents, you may need to use wood filler specifically designed for oak, followed by sanding and refinishing.
