Walnut Shelves

About

Walnut shelf boards in 25 cm and 34 cm depths. American black walnut on a 25mm AA-grade Baltic Birch plywood core. Hand-finished with hard wax oil. The walnut American black walnut, with the same deep colour and bolder grain across every board. The 1.5mm chamfered edge is sanded smooth to the touch; hand-finished with hard wax oil on every face: top, bottom, sides, and edges. Walnut mellows under natural light. Where oak deepens to a richer honey, walnut moves the other way: warmer tones over months and years. Hard wax oil seals the surface without blocking the change. Plywood for shelves At 25mm, AA-grade Baltic birch is stiff enough on its own for typical shelf spans. The cross-bonded core moves much less with humidity than solid timber, so the shelf stays straight on its brackets through the seasons rather than warping or twisting. The exposed AA-grade ply edge is part of the design, not concealed under banding. Same Baltic Birch core as our table and bench tops, in a narrow 25 cm or 34 cm width. Sizes Two depths: 25 cm deep , in 90, 120, and 150 cm lengths. Wall-mounted on brackets: books, kitchen display, narrow alcoves, kids' rooms. 34 cm deep , in 120, 150, and 180 cm lengths. Fitted shelf builds in alcoves, or floor-standing units. For wall-mounted shelves, we advise two brackets per shelf. The 25mm Baltic birch core stays flat across the span. Rated loading is determined by the top, brackets, and wall fixing types; with good fixings, 50kg per shelf is conservative guidance. See shelf brackets for rated capacities. What you'll need A shelf board can be wall-mounted on brackets, set into an alcove, or built into a floor-standing unit. For wall mounting, our shelf brackets are sized as standard for the 25 cm boards, in hairpin and prism styles: see shelf brackets . The board sits on the bracket, with a small grub screw to stop it sliding, and the bracket fixes to the wall: into a stud where you can, cavity anchors for drywall, or rawl plugs for brick. The Hair
