BEAUTIFUL WOODEN SHELVES WITH LIVE EDGE- PERFECT FOR SUCCULENTS

Time for a little update from the wood shop block! Jody has been spending a lot of time designing and making quite the collection of floating shelves, including a few sets of beautiful cherry live edge shelves. The wood comes from locally sourced turning blank lumber, which he then hand cut, tapered, and sanded to a super silky texture, and finally coated with a clear tung oil for a soft finish. These were handled with extra care due to the delicate nature of the live edge, which were not simulated – they are the real deal. We’ve just listed this trio on our Etsy shop, and we have one more set of the live edge floating shelves coming to the shop soon (along with about 15 more floating shelf varieties!). The live edge ones are particularly limited just due to the nature of the wood – you can only get so many of these out of one slab of lumber. Each shelf is about five by five inches, fitting a small succulent plant, candle, souvenirs, knick knacks, bud vases, you name it!

Minimalism has been consuming our minds. As we head into spring, albeit weeks early, we can’t help but feel the same way about shedding our winter layers as we dream about lightening up our living spaces. Trying to live happily with less stuff, but among things that bring us most joy. Appreciating timeless over trendy, delicate over intricate, and quality over quantity. These are some of the guiding principles we are putting into our wood work. This week, we’re excited to share these lovely cherry wood floating shelves we’ve designed and made in our wood shop. The wood comes from locally sourced turning blank lumber, which we then hand cut, tapered, and sanded to a super silky texture, and finally coated with a clear tung oil for a soft finish.
