We finally have our hands on some Live edge Elm ..and we're in love!

If you're looking to bring a natural, soft feeling into your home, with a nod to that rustc country look, this might be the piece for you.

We obtained these beautiful hardwood Chinese Elm slabs from a local hills tree lopper who had them squirreled away for a few years as they seasoned.

Chinese Elm is harder and denser then European Elm and it's the hardest of all commercail Elms, making it durable and highly resistant to impact.  Which is great if you are thinking of displaying these in the kitchen or wet areas.

Ok, lets talk about colour!  As you can see, the smooth, sculpted edge has that lovely grey-slate mottled edge with glints of pale straw.  The top of the shelf showcases the heartwood, which is  a warm copper with russet tones, blending in to the sandy outer edge.

So the timber is definitely for the lovers of warm, cosy caramel colouring.  

**PLEASE NOTE PRIOR TO ORDERING**

Each shelf is made to order, so please note that there will be variations in edge, gum veins and in colouring.

Depending on our timber supply, we may or may not be able to get the exact style of edge that you like.  We try our best, but we can't make guarantees due to the nature of what is available to us at a particular time.

If you have any specific preferences, please email Evy at ibdenys@yahoo.com.au prior to placing an order so that we can let you know if we can realistically fulfill your request.

For smaller shelves If you are installing onto plasterboard, please make sure that you will have 2 timber studs for the shelf to drill into.

All our shelves include high quality wall rods with drill holes in the back of the shelf.

If you would like to customise these shelves, just send us an email at hello@floatingshelvesaustralia.com  and we'll send you a quote.

Our floating shelves are suitable for brick walls and also gyprock.
If you have gyprock, the wall rods will need to drill into the timber wall studs.
(I can drill to match your stud spacing.) You will need a stud finder to locate the studs.
Just send us a message with the spacings from centre of stud to centre of stud.

Australian Standard wall studs are 450mm - 600 mm apart

*PLEASE NOTE: Our hardware will not drill into metal studs.
Please check that your studs are not metal, prior to purchase :)

**Please appreciate that the holes in the back of your piece are drilled by hand.  Drilling through timber takes a lot of strength, power and experience. This is not factory made, in fact its made at from our home workshop in the Perth hills.  So please note that the holes in the back of your piece may look a little rustic and this is what handmade  'human made' is all about! :)
