The Halse is my solid oak desk, handcrafted from premium British oak and built to order in my Somerset workshop. It has the same clean, contemporary lines as the Bruton, with the durability and natural warmth that only real hardwood gives you.
British oak is known for its pale golden colour, strong grain character and exceptional hardness. It's a desktop that gets better with age. I finish it with Osmo Polyx-Oil, which protects the surface while keeping it looking and feeling completely natural. Paired with your choice of steel leg style, it works equally well in a dedicated home office or a living space that doubles as a workspace.
Available in widths from 100cm to 200cm and depths from 50cm to 80cm, with four leg styles to suit your space. Standard thickness is 32mm. I can also make it 40mm thick, or build it to a custom size that isn't listed. Get in touch for a quote.
Want the desktop on its own? Choose the "Desktop no legs" option to buy just the solid oak top, supplied with no legs, screws or fittings. Ideal if you already have a sit-stand frame, trestles or your own legs.
A note on pricing: the "from" price shown is for the smallest desktop on its own. A complete desk with legs starts at £745.

Care Guide
Care Guide
When cleaning your furniture use a clean, dry, non-abrasive cloth. For this product we recommend Osmo Spray Cleaner.
Solid wood is a natural living, breathing material that ages over time. It has characteristics that include cracks in the wood, knots, mineral deposits, inclusions, as well as grain and pigment variations (sometimes wood filler is required) some natural movement is to be expected. However, these things do not interfere with the structural integrity.
