Oak Wood Shelves | Solid Oak & Alcove Shelves | UK Timber

Solid Oak Shelves

Our solid oak shelves are handmade in the UK from laminated solid oak staves, for a stable, hard-wearing shelf on any wall. Choose a solid European oak shelf for a warm, characterful look or an American white oak shelf for a paler, even grain. Standard lengths run from 900 to 2400 mm, custom lengths are also available, and all sizes are finished sizes. Fitting shelves into a recess? Choose a deeper European oak alcove shelf or American white oak alcove shelf. Shelves are supplied untreated, ready for your own oil or finish.
