How we make your shelf. Firstly we cut the board to size then carefully sand by hand to achieve a smooth finish but ensuring we keep the natural beauty of the wood. The edges will also be hand sanded to give a rustic look. After sanding is complete we apply a minimum of two coats of the highest quality beeswax, it protects the wood from water and dirt whilst enhancing the pattern and grain of the wood, leaving a lovely silk-matt finish.
Our wax sample photos are an indication only as the final colour depends on the shade of the board prior to waxing. We strive to achieve as close a match as possible but may be slightly lighter/darker depending on the individual piece of wood and it's grain. The shelves are natural products and come with their own unique characteristics so may have knots, bows, cracks, holes etc. All adding to the rustic charm.Every shelf is handmade to order. If the length you require is not listed please message us as we can cut to any length to ensure your shelf is perfect for you.
