The touchability and aliveness of real wood elevates your kitchen experience, whether you're cooking for your family or casually dining at your kitchen island.
Our seven different wood options ensure that there is a timber bench top to suit any style of kitchen. As well as sustainably sourced new timbers, we also offer reclaimed timber options such as recycled Messmate.
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.
Ranging from the creamey tones of Blackbutt to the warmth of Tasmanian Blackwood, there is a sustainably sourced or recycled wood that is perfect for your kitchen aethetic.
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.
With seven sustainably sourced timbers to choose from, you can find the perfect match for your kitchen. Whether it’s the feature-rich character of recycled Messmate, the swirling grain of American Oak, or the rich chocolate tones of Walnut, we have a timber bench top to suit every style.
We can source beautiful wood to make our recycled timber bench tops. The reclaimed wood we can source is Messmate, Ironbark, Blackbutt and Jarrah. Click here for more information on our timber options.
To create our custom timber bench tops, we use either sustainably sourced new or reclaimed wood. We mainly use Australian timbers from Victoria such as Wormy Chestnut or Messmate which are sourced from Melbourne or Geelong to save travel miles and support small businesses.
Each of our bench tops are design and made to order to our client’s dimensions and timber preferences. In many cases, bench tops need to be templated once the cabinetry is installed to ensure it fits the walls exactly.
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.

We do not do a 2 pack finish due to it toxicity and lack on longevity.
Over time, the Osmo finish is more durable as it can be spot fixed in the case of damage unlike a polyurethane finish.
