Ohio's hardwoods are highly regarded due to the abundance of high-quality hardwood species and the state's sustainable forest management practices. Ohio's forests are known for producing excellent hardwoods

Prized Hardwoods:

• Ohio's forests are primarily composed of hardwoods, prized for their strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities
• The Appalachian region of Ohio is particularly known for producing high-quality hardwood timber. 

Sustainable Forest Management:

• Ohio's forests are managed sustainably, with more wood being grown than is harvested annually. This ensures the long-term health and productivity of the forests
• Forest management practices help to improve forest health, enhance wildlife habitat, and promote the growth of high-quality timber. 
• The Ohio Dept of Natural Resources pllays a key role in promoting sustainable forestry practices

Climate and Soil Conditions:

• Ohio's climate and soil conditions are well-suited for the growth of high-quality hardwoods. 
• The climate and fertile soils allow trees to grow to their full potential, producing dense and durable wood. 

Every shelf is handcrafted in the USA using locally sourced natural, organic material - solid wood. By sourcing our materials locally and manufacturing domestically, we ensure superior quality, support American craftsmanship, and reduce unnecessary transportation costs and impacts.

Each shelf will differ because each piece of solid wood is unique. With a substantial 1.75-inch thickness and solid wood construction, these shelves offer a premium look and feel that complements both modern and rustic interiors. 

Crafted of the highest Select-Grade hardwood from the Central Appalachian region of Ohio, we minimize wood imperfections to provide a clean, natural look. Natural grain and knots are intentionally preserved to highlight the authentic character of real wood, ensuring that every shelf is truly one of a kind. 

Through our online ordering system, you can choose customizable lengths, depths and finishes to meeting your design needs. Our Build-To-Order process ensures your personalized, solid wood shelf fits your unique space.

To make the installation process effortless and quick, you will need: Tape measure, Stud finder, Pencil, Level, Drill.

Step 1: Stud installation is strongly recommended. Use a stud finder to locate studs, and lightly mark their location with a pencil.

Step 2: Once you determine where to hang your shelf, use a level to line up the mounting bracket on the wall. Use a pencil to mark the bracket's screw holes on the wall studs.

Step 3: Using the provided screws, lightly screw the mounting bracket into the wall (do not fully tighten yet). Using a level, make sure the bracket is level, then fully screw the bracket into the wall.

Step 4: Line up the holes on the back of the shelf with the bracket extensions, and slide the shelf into place.

Apply Pre-Stain Conditioner (Recommended): Apply a pre-stain wood conditioner to prevent blotchy, uneven absorption. Allow it to penetrate for 5–15 minutes before wiping off excess.

Natural Finish - Seal: To enjoy the beauty of sold hardwood, simply apply a protective finish like polyurethane.

To Stain: Stir the stain (do not shake). Apply it in the direction of the grain using a rag, foam brush, or bristle brush. Let it sit for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the desired darkness—longer sit times result in darker, richer colors.

Wipe Excess and Seal: Wipe off all excess stain with a clean, lint-free cloth. Do not let stain dry on the surface, as it will become sticky and uneven. Let it dry for at least 24 hours, then apply a protective finish like polyurethane.
