Shelves and Window Boards/Cills

​We produce beautiful and unique shelving and window boards from our kiln dried wood milled from fallen native trees. Natural wood shelving adds an organic warmth and colour to contemporary and modern décor styles and feels right at home in more traditional or farmhouse styled rooms.
 
Live or natural edge shelves retain the original shape of the tree they were cut from and every shelf is naturally unique. Minimal processing is carried out to ensure the wood retains its original character, is friendly to the environment and sustainable.
​Your wall space is much bigger than your floor space, use it to its best potential. Our beautiful soft and hardwood solid shelves help you make the most of the limited space you have in every room of your home or workplace. Here are some great ideas to steal!

Kitchen:
  • Add floating shelves between wall cupboards to integrate them into your design. Great for displaying serving platters or adding a touch of greenery with a nice potted plant. 
  • Create a coffee bar with plenty of space for your favourite beans, grinder and percolator
​Home Bar:
  • Shelves are great for maximising your bar top area - keep all your drinks, glasses and utensils close to hand and show off your drinks collection. 
 Bathroom:
  • Keeping things organised can be a challenge. Shelves can be placed above your toilet, around your bathroom mirror. or above the door.
Bedroom:
  • Replace your bedside cabinet or table with one or more floating shelves to create a sleek modern look and airy feel. 
​Shelf Supports
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. Surface treatments can be used to create an aged or rustic appearance.

Standard Sizing & Made to Measure 

Length:
Our standard range of shelving is produced from 30cm long in length increments of 15cm up to 180cm or 6’ long (subject to availability). If you would like shelves to fit a particular space then we are happy to make them for you
​
​Depth:  
We can make shelves with a front to back depth between 15cm and 30cm approximately. Our standard depth is 20-25cm. The front edge of a Live Edge shelf follows the natural shape of the tree and the actual depth will vary down the length of the board as shown in the example picture below.​
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. ​

Shelf Thickness
Our wood is generally milled at 50mm thick before it kiln dried and then gradually planed down to make it flat and level.   The finished depth is around 40-45mm. If you need a shelf to a specific thickness then just send us an email and we'll be happy to give you a quote.
