Solid Walnut Floating Shelves 40mm – Live Edge or Square Edge – Made to Measure

Our solid walnut floating shelves are made to measure in our workshop from carefully selected European walnut, offering a rich, natural finish with deep tones and striking grain.

At 40mm thick, each shelf has a bold, substantial appearance, making it ideal for feature shelving in living spaces, kitchens, alcoves or offices. Choose a live edge for a more organic, characterful look, or a square edge for a clean, modern finish.

Each walnut floating shelf is handcrafted and finished by hand to bring out the natural beauty of the timber, resulting in a premium shelf that is built to last.

    What to Expect

    As a natural material, walnut features unique grain patterns, knots, and tonal variation. No two shelves will be identical.

    Small splits, colour variation and natural movement are all part of the character of solid walnut and should be expected as part of a genuine hardwood product.

    waney edge oak board

    Great quality product. I ordered custom sizes and there was no issue with Oak Guys preparing the board according to my request.
    Communication was smooth, responsive and even though they state certain times for delivery, i had it surprisingly quick.
    Overall, great experience.
    Thank you.

    Ordered a large solid oak table top from Oak Guys. Fantastic communications from Mike, and the oak table top itself is a beautifully crafted piece of work. Over the moon with it. Personally, I would highly recommend the Oak Guys !
