Not only that, but the oldest living organism on the planet is a colony of oak trees. The ancient Jurupa Oak colony in sunny California has a staggering age of around 13,000 years. Just like the mythical phoenix, they grow from burned stems, or rise from ashes.

A long-lasting and durable option

And why? Rather than disintegrate as it ages, oak actually gets harder. This makes it an ideal material for your home.
If it can support an entire house, it will have no trouble as a shelf. Your oak shelf will last for an entire lifetime, and longer. It will become a beautiful permanent fixture in your home.

Unlike plywood, oak is natural and beautiful already. Its deep colour really warms any space it is used in, and it is instantly recognisable. A genuine oak fixture in your home will impress your guests, as it hints at good taste and attention to stylistic detail.

Clear floors, decorated walls
It is clear to most people that the more storage options your house has, the cleaner and more spacious it will feel. Oak shelves will mean that you can leave your surfaces for decor, and let your walls do the storing.
Your shelves can be arranged in groups on your wall to create a focal point for your wall. While your shelves are styling it out on the wall, your floor will have more space for other features.
Handmade shelves
There is nothing in this world that can compare to a solid block of oak, crafted and finished by hand. Everything about it from the weight, the colour, the texture, its individuality will give you a sense of connection to the very tree it came from.
The handiwork and craft provided by an independent workshop is far more special and individual than that of a mass producing furniture company. The personality and character found in shelves made from oak, compared to say, MDF is far superior and bears a longevity that will more than cover the price.
Oak shelves made by hand, and sourced from English forests and sawmills, tell a story. This story is one of an ancient craft, dating back millennia. Having access to every part of the supply chain ensures that everything is of the highest quality and lowest ecological impact possible.
