A chunky style shelf with a limewash twist.. this is the Austrian Baltic Pine Shelf with a whitewash effect applied, to create a Scandinavian mood. Beautifully imperfect with the grain showing through. Sanded smooth with a sealer applied.
This shelf alone will add an instant boost of character to your space, you could imagine what it would look like with a display of glowing candles or seashells.
If you'd like to see the shelf without the whitewash, please see this listing:

Presenting the reclaimed and aged Austrian 🇦🇹 Baltic Pine Shelf (that's right, Austrian, not Australian!)
I'm Super happy to have sourced these Reclaimed and aged Austrian Baltic Pine boards from a wood collector who salvaged them from an old home in Hamilton Hill.
The Baltic Pine made it over to Western Australia just after World War ll for hundreds of kit style homes around Perth.
The well aged timber when milled back to life shows the light honey colour and oxidation that only comes into play when this type of timber ages over at least 60 years. To think this tree was only a sapling in the 1800s.
Thrilled to be working with this material and the fine smell that comes through that alpine scent from Austria I can never tire of. You can see part of this process documented on my Instagram page:
