At Norfolk Oak we exclusively use American White Oak, the hardest and most beautiful of all the Oaks around the world, for our full stave worktops. The very best comes from Northern Ohio, and for us that means close to Lake Erie. Here the combination of four distinct seasons, especially incredibly harsh winters, make for perfect growing conditions. We even go to the trouble of selecting individual trees.
Creating Super Stave Oak worktops with large, full staves is all about attention to detail. Of this detail , the single most critical element of the entire process is drying the timber. We take much longer drying our timber then even the best timber merchants in the USA. It's not that even the best have low standards, it's just that no one can match ours. Having painstakingly dried our Oak, we then keep all of our wide stave material in humidity controlled environments. We are, in fact, the only company to do this in the UK. Meticulous attention to detail, yes, but why do anything less.
When machining the full stave Oak, we use our state of the art equipment to guarantee glue edges so precise there is less than 1/20 of a millimetre variance over a 6 m length. Our automated clamp carrier then exerts around three tons per linear metre, ensuring these glue lines never fail. To finish it off, the Full Stave Oak Worktops go through our enormous calibrating wide belt sander, and then through our three head finishing sander. At this point, they are ready for customising to your requirements.
