Custom Floating Shelves
TimeWorn Wood builds custom floating shelves for customers who want more than standard off-the-shelf options. We manufacture our own hidden brackets, machine the shelves in-house, and finish every piece with the same commercial-grade system trusted on over 100,000 restaurant tabletops. Whether you want to purchase brackets only or have us build fully finished shelves in nearly any size, shape, wood species, or color, our process delivers clean installations and long-lasting durability.
Pro Tip
Build your own shelves using our brackets and tools, or have us create a fully finished shelf ready to install.
Two Ways to Buy from Us
We offer floating shelf solutions in two distinct ways. First, we sell the hidden brackets on their own for customers who want to fabricate the wood shelf themselves. Second, we build complete custom floating shelves with the same level of craftsmanship, machining, and finishing that has defined TimeWorn Wood for years.
Hidden Brackets We Make In-House
Yes, you can buy the brackets from us by themselves. We manufacture our own 1″ hidden floating shelf brackets for shelves ranging from 1 1/4″ to 1 1/2″ thick, and because bracket production is only a small fraction of what we do, we are able to price them far more aggressively than brands built entirely around bracket sales.
Available bracket widths include 22″, 28″, 34″, 40″, 46″, 58″, 70″, and 82″. Rod lengths are available in 3″, 5″, and 7″. We also sell the tools required to rout and drill your shelves correctly so you can achieve a clean fit and a professional installation without guessing your way through the process.
Complete Custom Floating Shelves
This is where we separate ourselves from nearly everyone else in the floating shelf market. We can build shelves in standard rectangles, oversized statement pieces, curved or organic shapes, and true waterfall configurations that carry continuous grain across one shelf, down a waterfall, and onto a second shelf at a different height. We can even add vertical book ends for customers who want a cleaner way to display books and objects.
Customers can choose from 7 wood species, reclaimed oak, and reclaimed pine, along with 16 stain colors or the original natural color of each species for a total of over 50 combinations! You can also choose from the same wood styles and looks shown on our restaurant tabletops page, which opens the door to a much broader range of character, texture, and finish options than most shelf companies can offer.
Machining, Edge Profiles, and Design Freedom
Our 5′ x 20′ CNC gives us the ability to cut shapes and details that most floating shelf companies simply cannot offer. We can create nearly any edge profile you want, including bull nose, reverse knife edge, and hand scraped details, while also producing oversized or unusual layouts with far better consistency than a small bench-built operation. That means more design freedom, better repeatability, and a much more refined final product.
If a designer, builder, or homeowner has a shelf concept that falls outside the usual catalog dimensions, that is exactly where we do our best work. We are not limited to pre-set sizes, pre-set shapes, or a short list of decorative looks.
A Finish System Proven in the Real World
Every shelf we build is professionally finished with commercial acrylic polyurethane applied over a two-part high-build polyurethane sealer. This is not a decorative coating we started using for shelves. It is the same finish system we have trusted for more than a decade on restaurant tabletops, bar tops, and other high-use commercial surfaces, with no failures. It protects the wood while keeping the look natural, and we use a 0-degree sheen so the finished shelf looks like real wood instead of plastic-coated furniture.
Design Insight
Most floating shelf sellers are choosing from a narrow menu of sizes and finishes. We are starting with raw lumber, commercial machinery, and a much larger finishing library, which gives you more control over the final look.
That combination gives customers what they usually struggle to find in one product: the warmth and character of solid wood, along with the durability and peace of mind needed for long-term everyday use. Whether the shelf is going into a home office, kitchen, living room, retail setting, or hospitality space, it is built to hold its appearance for decades.
Bracket-Only Orders
Buy the hidden brackets and the tools needed to machine your own shelf. This is a strong fit for woodworkers, cabinet shops, and builders who want pro-grade hardware without paying inflated bracket-only pricing.
Fully Finished Shelves
Order complete floating shelves in custom sizes, custom shapes, custom colors, reclaimed materials, waterfall layouts, and edge details that most shelf brands cannot produce.
Free Shipping
Shipping is free on orders of $500 or more, making it even easier to combine brackets, tools, and shelves into one clean order.
