These are cut to order so any size can be done and width (dependant on choice of timber and availability), please message us with your dimensions for a quote. THICKNESS- 3-4cms WEIGHT: 5-9KG depending on size LIVE EDGE: The Live Edge will depend on the individual piece of wood. The edge will follow the natural line of the timber. If you are wanting a piece which is more gnarly, shapely and characterful, then our Pippy Oak shelf is the perfect choice. The edge will follow the natural line of the timber. However it does depends on individual piece of timber. The front edge will be live edge (please see our FAQ's for a definition) and the back edge & 2 shorter sides are straight. The live edge means that the depth could fluctuate by a few cms. Please note that the nature of using wood/timber is that it may come with splits, knots etc. This is part of the character of the piece. The honey combing can be slightly raised. Pippy oak is a rough, rustic, gnarly, characterful wood. These are unique pieces which are perfect for creating that authentic rustic style/ decor. The live edge can become slightly raised & whispy/flakey during transit due to the friction between the packaging & the board. This is not something we can control as it's down the the oil softening the wood but in order to get these despatched in a convenient time frame, we have to send them whilst the oil is not fully cured. However, this can be sorted by a light, quick brush of sand paper which won't effect the treatment or appearance. We include a piece of sand paper in case this does happen. As the oil fully cures, the live edge will harden. Each piece is unique as they are made to order from a different handpicked piece of wood, so all markings/ grain/ Character will be different. We use the photos to try & show the different variations that could occur but your piece will not look exactly like one of the photos. These are made to order customised pieces to your specifications & as per our returns policy are not eligible for exchange or returns. In purchasing this item, you are stating that you have understood & agree with these terms Please note that as these are made from natural materials, they will all be unique as they all cut from different pieces of timber so no 2 will be the same. As such, we can’t guarantee tone, character or shape as it will depend on the timber available at the time. Each piece is unique as they are made to order from a different handpicked piece of wood, so all markings/ grain will be different. We use the photos to try & show the different variations that could occur but your piece will not look exactly like one of the photos. These may come with historic woodworm/woodboring holes. Although all the wood has been kiln dried, the oaks have also been treated with EVERBUILD Triple action wood treatment for wood boring insects. This protects the wood against re-infestation but also means that it breaks the life cycle, as, if there is any "activity" (new holes, frass etc), insects that may appear will have had to burrow through the treated wood so will die prior to multiplying & completing their life cycle so will not travel far or be able to infest other wood. So if you do see this, please do not panic but if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. However, as with any exposed timber, we recommend a retreat every year with an oil/wax treatment for protection against moisture & a treatment for protection against wood boring insects. TREATMENT: These can be sent untreated or treated with Tung oil* which ensure your piece is protected from penetrating water/ moisture damage leaving a matte finish. It depends on how you are attaching the fixtures as the treatment can mean that sealant etc might not bond to the wood so it is better to treat it once everything is in situ. Also if you are wanting a glossy finish, then we will need to send it to you untreated for you to use a treatment that will give you the desired finish. These are solid wood pieces made from different species of wood. They are left to their natural tone & colour. If you are wanting to stain the piece to match other wood pieces, then again choose “untreated”. Please feel free to contact us to discuss. Tung oil leaves the wood matte so as close to the natural feel as possible whilst protecting it. Like any wooden piece of furniture (coffee table wooden side board), water left sitting could mark. Here are a few tips to keep it looking special: 1. Do not leave water to dry on it, treat it like you would a coffee table, even when treated water can mark. The treatment protects it against penetrating water damage but this doesn’t mean water won’t mark. 2. Do not use chemicals on the piece. Any chemicals may affect the treatment used. We don’t just mean the obvious, cleaning products, even soap, shampoo, body wash etc can react with the treatment effectively striping it. 3. You will need to retreat your piece from time to time, depending on use & environment. Give it a light sand down (until any marks disappear) then retreat with your oil of choice. Ultimately, this is a piece of natural wood & will require care & maintenance, the same as a wooden kitchen bench or coffee table would. *Tung oil can take up to 2 weeks to fully cure. Care must be taken when using the unit during this time.Please note these are hand made to order items so the lead time reflects this. * tung oil is extracted from nuts & may cause an allergic reaction* LEADTIME & EXPEDITE SERVICE: The standard lead time is up to 2 weeks as these are all made to order.
