STANDARD FRENCH OAK

​French Oak is the Rolls Royce of Oak – the very best quality grown in the world.

If you want the natural warm feel of oak, our Standard French Oak tops are the perfect choice. They deliver Oak’s trademark aesthetic in the best possible way. Each top is crafted from a single tree (from 80-150mm wide pieces), with the pieces carefully selected and arranged to make the best-looking tabletop.

What Makes Our Standard French Oak the Best?

The Best Oak

​French Oak means something – it’s like Champagne. It has a distinct aura that sets it apart from the rest. When you choose a table made from French Oak, you are selecting a material that has been meticulously cared for and managed since the earliest stages of its life. This careful cultivation has led to the production of consistently high-quality oak that surpasses all others.

OAK COMPARISON GUIDE

FRENCH & ENGLISH OAK

There are some stark differences between French, English and other European Oaks. This video highlights the key differences and explains the stringent regulations and processes that ensure the superiority of French Oak against all others.

Made From A Single Tree

Our Standard French Oak tops are made from 80-150mm wide pieces from a single tree. We select the best parts of the tree and follow a careful arrangement process, ensuring the pieces are arranged to present the best face, orientation, and order for a beautiful spread of character. This meticulous approach results in the best-looking tabletop possible. Furthermore, using pieces from a single French Oak tree guarantees a tabletop with a beautifully consistent grain and colour tone, unlike anything you will commonly see.

ABACUS VS ALTERNATIVES

STANDARD OAK

Discover how our Standard French Oak table tops compare with other Oak tables on the market. We have evaluated our tables against the alternatives, showcasing distinct advantages and differences of an Abacus Standard Oak table.

The Best Finish

Our French Oak tables come with our ultra-protective Induro Oil finish, ensuring that your table continues to look brand new with virtually no maintenance. The application of this finish is an important part of our process. The oil is heated to a certain temperature in a temperature and humidity-controlled environment. Multiple coats are then applied over a period of around two weeks.

This finish stands out for its exceptional stain resistance, effectively handling household stains. We have rigorously tested this finish against numerous challenging substances, including turmeric, wine, olive oil, and hot coffee. All of these can be easily wiped away with a damp cloth.

This is, without a doubt, the finest Oak finish we have ever encountered.

Wood Movement Warranty

Despite going to extreme lengths to avoid wood movement issues, it’s impossible to eliminate the risk of some natural movement as it acclimatises to its new home. As such, you’re fully covered by our Wood Movement Warranty:

If you have any wood movement issues within two years of owning the table (any movement will happen well within this period), we’ll bring the table back to our workshop and give it a full service, so you will get it back in brand new condition. We will also leave you with a courtesy table in the meantime. If it’s a small issue that can be rectified in situ, we’re more than happy to come and carry out the work in your home.
