Specially selected from pieces of European Oak that has been sourced from France and Poland. The ultimate statement of rustic and wild finishes and perfect for a tree shelf. This finish retains the real bark edge of the board and we select only the most solid, minimally touched bark pieces for this finish, an incredibly delicate process.
As this is not a manufactured edge it can be fragile; the bark on these boards has already gone through the felling, transporting, sawing and kiln drying process, making it extremely difficult to source. It cannot be easily worked or repaired, so we are very careful to take our time when working with it.
Please note that there will be inconsistences along the bark edge due to natural variation and the processes involved with felling and processing. We make bark edge shelves at the depth specified plus the bark, so as with the waney edge finish there can be a depth variation of between 20 – 50mm in places.
We try to source boards that have the most character for these trees. The may include large-holed knots, splits (which we deem to be stable) and of course real bark!
Shelf depths vary considerably due to the nature of the boards used but the main lengths are approximately 170 – 210mm deep on average.
