Oak Bench Slats with a Bullnose Profile
Crafted from high-quality sustainable European Oak, and machined on site in our sawmill, our Oak Bench Slats with a bullnose profile offer a durable and sustainable solution for replacing old or broken bench slats.
Oak is a durable and sturdy material, making it the perfect choice for bench slats. Unlike other woods, Oak is naturally resistant to decay and insect damage, making it an ideal option for outdoor use. Not only that, but Oak has a beautiful grain pattern that adds character and warmth to any space.
The bullnose profile is a type of wood finishing that involves rounding off the edges of the wood, creating a semi-circular shape. This profile is particularly well-suited for bench slats, as it provides a comfortable and safe seating experience for users. Additionally, the bullnose profile adds a touch of elegance to the bench, creating a soft and inviting appearance.
These bench slats are machined on site in our sawmill and are available in a range of sizes to fit your bench perfectly.

We offer two timber options: Sapele and European Oak.
Sapele is a versatile, durable West African hardwood (Entandrophragma cylindricum), often used as a sustainable and cost‑effective alternative to Mahogany. It is dense and strong, offering high resistance to impact and decay, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use. It also takes paint very well.
European Oak, on the other hand, is a more traditional choice. It is a premier hardwood valued for its exceptional strength, natural durability, and elegant appearance. It typically features a light tan to warm golden‑brown heartwood with a straight, coarse grain. Highly resistant to decay and wear, it is suitable for both interior and high‑traffic applications. As a premium product, the grain is usually showcased, so an oil finish is recommended. Paints can be prone to flaking on Oak

It is up to you and really depends what look you are after. They will go grey if you leave them and that is a natural barrier and is generally my choice with oak. Otherwise you can vanish/oil them and this will provide extra protection especially from moisture which is the worst thing to cause decay, but it will be an ongoing job with most oils. I have found with tung/danish oil that if left outside over winter as it will start to weather black and then grey in a matter of months and to avoid this it requires constant re coating.
We have recently starting stocking Restol which is able to protect the wood and maintain the oak for several years without a re coat and is proving very popular.

Excellent product (oak slats). Rather slower than expected (ordered 25th Jul, dispatched 14th August) but I’m very happy with the slats.

Perfect for our little lock down project. We used the slats to repair an old bin cupboard. Worked perfectly. Quick and simple ordering and delivery.
