Your wall space is much bigger than your floor space, use it to its best potential. Our soft and hardwood wood shelves help you make the best of the limited space you have in every room of your home or workplace.
Shelf Types
Our natural edge shelf boards can be attached to your walls in two ways:
Floating - where the shelf appears to float with no visible means of support. The shelf is supported on steel pins embedded in a solid wall.
Supported - using brackets which are available in a huge range of styles and finishes.
We can supply concealed brackets for floating shelves and drill the wood to accept the steel pins. If you have any queries about the suitability of your walls then please do call us and we can advise you accordingly.

What wood do you use?
Hardwood:
Most of our shelves and window boards are made from Elm, our favourite native hardwood. The wood has subtle colour variations and live edge features like burrs and swirling grain patterns. Occasionally other hardwoods will be used subject to availability.
Softwood:
Softwoods like pine are offer many of the benefits of hardwood shelving but at a lower cost and a wider range of shelf depths. These shelves made from dimensioned timber rather than live edge boards and and are offered with a choice of decorative surface and edge treatments:

- We only use kiln-dried wood so your shelf stays level and will not warp.
- The board is carefully prepared, sanded super smooth and finished with OSMO hardwax oil in your choice of Matt, Satin or Gloss.
Softwood:
Softwoods like pine are offer many of the benefits of hardwood shelving but at a lower cost and a wider range of shelf depths. These shelves made from dimensioned timber rather than live edge boards and and are offered with a choice of decorative surface and edge treatments:
Softwood - ScorchedThe wood is lightly scorched to darken the surface and create a light rustic look. The flame highlights the wood grain character as the annual growth rings are darkened.
|
Softwood - Charred and BrushedThe wood is charred deeply then brushed to remove soot. Subtle, smooth ridges are formed by the growth rings as the softer wood between them is eroded by the heat.
|
The shelves are finished with high quality, OSMO hardwax oil which seals the surface, protecting the wood and making the shelves easy to clean.
The front edge can be carved to add bark-like texture for added interest and is free of charge if required.

The upper shelf line shows moderate variation in depth whereas the green line shelf has an interesting character feature and more pronounced variation.
If this example board was cut at the green line, the average depth would be 6" and the maximum depth about 8". |
We are happy to provide you with pictures of the boards we propose for your shelves before they are cut.
