Sorting Oak for English cottage countertops

Sorting French oak boards for grain and character. These will be used for countertops in an English cottage with a country style kitchen.

Video was made at my workshop in London and the project site is in Surrey.

Timbers came from a single log and the boules were from central sections for vertical grain. This produces a very stable timber which is ideal for a humid area like a kitchhen, with beatiful grain and medulary rays.
