Customer Reviews
This shelf is absolutely stunning and has become a feature above our fireplace. It’s even more beautiful than the pictures.
These shelves are true works of art! It came exactly how it was pictured on the website. Steven answered all of my questions and was truly a delight to buy from. Our shelf arrived on time and was packaged so thoroughly that there was no chance of any damage when it arrived. I can’t recommend Steven and his beautiful shelves enough!

The quality of the workmanship and the finish of this piece is exquisite. We have a few pieces of furniture created using naturally sourced wood such as this piece, but the finish on those are nowhere near as good as this piece. So much so that I have ordered another piece to complement this one.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. This mantel is absolutely amazing, thanks so much.
Resin in wood
Prior to shaping and adding the Glass Cast Epoxy Resin in the wood It’s vital that kiln dried live edge timber wood slabs are used when crafting our wood wall art resin shelves, countertop and breakfast bar tables, thus we purchase natural live edge timber boards with a moisture content of 7% to 10%.
