Walnut: Strength Meets Natural Beauty

Black walnut is a dark, hard hardwood prized for its rich chocolate tones, subtle reddish hues, and creamy sapwood accents. Known for its fine grain, workability, and ability to take a flawless finish, it develops a lustrous patina with age, enhancing its upscale look. Commonly used for high-end cabinetry, flooring, and furniture, our black walnut shelves and mantels come in a single, natural finish to showcase the wood’s beauty—though we also offer them unfinished if you prefer to apply your own stain.

Hovr Brackets

Why Use Outdated Hardware for your walnut floating shelves?

Most walnut floating shelves use a simple 2-prong system, creating weak points and limiting them to about 50 lbs per stud. That’s fine for light décor, but not for real storage. Our shelves use the Hovr Bracket System, where a male and female bracket interlock and screw together for unmatched strength and stability.

With this design, our walnut shelves can hold up to 150 lbs per stud, giving you the confidence to store and display without worry.

FAQ

The Shelves

I need a size not listed, what should I do?

We can make anything between 5" and 12" deep, and 12" and 58" long. Order the size closest to what you need and let us know in 'Order Notes' on the cart page.

Need something longer? Email us and we'll see what we can do.

Can I customize my shelves?

Absolutely! These are made out of solid hardwood, so your creativity is the limit when it comes to customizing your shelves. There is a $50/shelf fee for any customization. Some of our popular customization requests:

  • Radius Corners
  • Routered channels for LED lights, plus a hole drilled through the shelf for wiring
  • Custom edge profiles
  • Plate grooves

How thick are they?

1.8". We start with solid 2" thick hardwood. Once we plane, surface, and sand your shelves, we're left with 1.8" thick shelves.
