A shelf is a shelf… Right? Wrong! Shelving does not have to be BORING. Custom shelving solutions not only serve a functional purpose but can really tie a room together, and it’s a feature that many people overlook when designing a space. I’m going to give you a crash course on all the options. From natural live edge shelves to rustic planks, dive in and discover the wonders of custom shelving.

Live Edge Shelves

First comes the most obvious option: live edge shelves. These are inherently unique and are a great solution to elevate a boring, typical shelf into a true accent piece. At our workshop in Goshen, New York, we have a wide selection of live edge slabs to choose from, such as live edge walnut, live edge acacia, live edge oak, live edge maple, and so much more. Our selection is unmatched, as we have the largest commercial woodyard and workshop in Orange County. In addition to the variety of slab species, our team of woodworkers can create a tailor-made shelf with a wide range of finishing options. Whether it’s live edge walnut or oak, your live edge shelves will be a masterpiece.

Rustic Shelves

Out with the new and in with the old? Our second custom shelving option is the rustic plank. Our rustic planks tell a story. We source them from old structures far and wide. This reclaimed wood carries century-old patina, nail holes, and chatter marks from a time that once was, adding an old-world wood touch to a modern space. Similarly to live edge shelves, our team of master carpenters can finish rustic planks in a wide variety of finishes, including, but not limited to, natural lighter stains and darker stains.

Straight Edge Shelves

So, you don’t like live edge shelves? No problem! The same live edge slabs we use can be milled into simple but perfect solid wood shelving for any project you have. You can never go wrong with solid walnut or oak shelves, made to size to fit into any space. When it comes to our custom straight-edge shelves, the finishing options are endless. Also, our straight-edge shelves are made from solid 2″ thick slabs that will literally last a lifetime… Talk about the last shelves you’ll ever need.
