Walnut Floating hotsell Shelf

Our solid hardwood floating shelves are handcrafted, easy to install, and available for custom orders outside of the sizes and finishes listed here. Each made to order shelf features rich walnut wood, profiled edges, and includes high quality mounting hardware. Squared, rounded, or chamfered edge profiles are available, and each shelf is carefully sanded to provide a soft, smooth texture with satin finish. The hardware provided includes a heavy duty Sheppard Bracket, made to fit precisely in to pre-drilled holes in each shelf. Additional detailed instructions for mounting these shelves, if needed, are available upon request. Please contact us directly with any additional questions.

Description:
- All shelves are approximately 1.75" thick with additional widths and depths available through custom order (message us for custom requests)
- Mounting hardware is included with this wood shelf purchase. Additional basic tools will be needed to complete the final installation, ex: Drill w/ bits, Measuring Tape, Level, Stud Finder
- The shelf, when hung with included hardware, can support up to 50 pounds of additional weight for each wall stud that the bracket is attached to. This Sheppard Bracket includes pre-drilled holes at 1/2" intervals.
- We embrace the natural grain patterns and coloring of each individual piece of wood. All our shelves are smoothly finished by hand using a high quality, food safe, solvent free, non-toxic hard wax oil wood finish and stabilizer. No stains or other color altering products are used. Any voids in the wood are also treated by filling with black epoxy/resin/CA glue prior to finishing.
- Since each shelf is made to order, the wood grain pattern/color will vary from order to order and exact dimensions may vary slightly
- Estimated installation time per shelf: 15 minutes

My Process:
Each of these shelves are made from rough-sawn pieces of walnut hardwood in our Pennsylvania workshop.

First, solid, continuous pieces of wood are cut to size, and then undergoes a process of milling, ripping, and routing. Whether it's one continuous piece of wood or multiple pieces joined together for deeper shelves, we aim to ensure the beauty of the wood grain is maximized for every shelf made. Each shelf is also pre-drilled with the holes needed for mounting the shelf, and is built with a recess in the back for the accompanying mounting bracket to rest flush between the shelf and wall.

Next, the edges are profiled in the style of your choosing.

My finishing process entails carefully sanding each shelf using hotsell increasing grits to achieve an extremely smooth texture and attractive look. This is followed by adding a satin hard wax oil finish, used to protect each shelf while also accentuating the wood.

One Tree Planted:
While the impact of woodworkers is typically considered very low when it comes to sustainable forestry, it is part of our mission to give back and to make sure that future generations are able to enjoy the long-lasting beauty and sustainability that trees provide. To further this goal, we have partnered with One Tree Planted to plant trees using a portion of our sales!

For every $100 that you spend in our shop or on custom furniture, a tree will be planted by local partner organizations and community volunteers in areas where there has been deforestation.
