Care instructions
Wooden worktops require care and respect. You can avoid burning wood by using hot cups or pans. Instead, use a trivet to protect the wood. Avoid chopping wood directly on the top. Wood can also get scratched. You can mark the wood with a hand-held electrical sander, and then oil it with Danish oil. Oiling wood will seal it and prevent it from absorbing moisture. This can cause it to swell and eventually turn to rot. Drop some water on your surface to see if it needs oiling. If it turns into beads, then it is okay. If it sits flat, it’s time to treat it.
Chez vous
Walnut is a great material to use for your worktops if you want to host guests, cook food for the troops, or just relax with friends over coffee and homemade cakes. You can be confident that walnut will last for years, and it is also attractive and luxurious so you can show your friends and family. You can be the king of the castle in your own home.
