Description
Perfectly Display Natural Beauty in your Home, with Air Dried Oak.
Air Drying these Floating Shelves allows for a number of distinguishing features, such as lines, cracks and knots. No other shelf like it exists, or will ever exist again – completely bespoke to you and your home.
All of our shelving is made by hand, with only the finest quality character-grade timber. We source all of our timber from European sawmills which are always FSC or PEFC certified.
Our stunning Air Dried Oak Floating Shelves provide you with the traditional look of a natural wooden shelf, while also giving a modern feel with the floating fixture. These shelves are available in sizes of 5.5″ and 7″ deep, with a thickness of 35mm (with a variable of +/- 5mm, due to being handcrafted). The length options run from as short as 1ft up to 7ft. As our shelves are all handmade to order, we are able to make bespoke pieces to your specific requirements – if you don’t see the exact size you need listed, do not hesitate to get in touch.
The shelf you choose will not only be to your exact size specifications, but we will finish it with your chosen premium wood stain colour too. There are a range of earthy, natural colours to choose from as well as clean, crisp white and bold black. Select a shade that matches your home and aesthetic style, at no extra cost.
Your shelf will be further enhanced, with a coat of wax polish added to your timber after the wood stain. This adds an extra layer of protection to your shelf.
Installation is easy, with our comprehensive fitting guides. Fix your shelf to stone, brick, breeze block and stud walls too. Hafele’s concealed shelf supports will be provided with your order, and holes will be pre-drilled into the back of your shelf, so that you can mount your shelf with little assistance.

Please note: oak is a natural product, therefore every piece will vary in appearance. The grain, colour, cracks and knots are what make our natural product unique. Our displayed colour samples are only guides, colours may appear slightly different due to the natural colours of the wood, the lighting and the type of screen you are looking at them on too. Also, air dried timber can develop further cracks over time, and the shape may alter through usage too. Dimensions stated are approximate only. Post machining, our dimensions are accurate to 1/2″. We will not accept any of the above as defects.
All of our shelving is made to order and professionally finished with a quality wood stain colour of your choice. There are nine shades to choose from, allowing you to perfectly select a colour that matches your home and aesthetic style.
Your chosen premium wood stain will penetrate deep into the wood, adding the chosen colour and a protective coat to your unique piece. Then we will further enhance your timber, with a coat of quality wax polish to further boost protection for the wood.
Our wood stains are available in white, light grey, dark grey, light pine, antique pine, medium oak, walnut, jacobean, and black. Offering this wide range of wood stain colour options means that our handcrafted shelves cater to those looking to bring a sense of tradition into their home, and those with more modern tastes.
Select a colour from the images displayed below to find a shade that best matches your home and aesthetic style. Are you a lover of minimalism and clean white aesthetics, or do you prefer earthy, natural tones throughout your home? We cater to every taste here at Handcrafted Shelves.
All of the colours shown above are to be used as a guide only. Due to using the natural materials of oak and pine, colour variation is expected. Your handcrafted shelf will be a focal point in whichever room you plan to display it in, being bespoke to your home means that it will naturally stand out from your other furniture items – made to order, made to stand out, not made to blend in.
Each shelf is coated and sealed for protection, but please always use a drink coaster to avoid water damage.
