No two are the same, and that is exactly the point. The Camphor Wood Live Edge Wall Shelf brings the raw character of natural Australian timber into your home, with a live edge that traces the original form of the wood and a grain pattern that shifts from warm amber to deep honey depending on the light. Camphor laurel is one of Australia's most distinctive timbers, prized for its aromatic grain and rich, varied tones.
Use it in a living room to display ceramics or trailing plants, in a bedroom as a bedside alternative, or in a kitchen for oils, herbs and everyday objects that deserve a better home than a drawer.
Available in two lengths and as either a single shelf or a pair. The 40cm suits a narrow wall or an alcove, while the 50cm gives you room to layer objects rather than line them up. Buying the pair works out cheaper per shelf and lets you stagger heights on one wall or run them side by side, which is how they look best.

Camphor laurel is cut, not moulded, so the live edge traces whatever shape the tree gave it and the grain runs from amber to honey depending on where the light falls. The pair you receive will not match these photographs exactly. That is the product, not a caveat.
Refined details
Considered at every joint
The parts you notice once it is up on the wall.
Live edge, left alone
The outer edge follows the original line of the timber rather than being cut straight, so every shelf carries a different profile.
Straightforward to mount
Fixes to the wall on its brackets with the hardware supplied, so it goes up with a drill and a level and nothing else.
One shelf or a pair
Buy a single shelf, or take the pair and work out cheaper per shelf. Two lets you stagger heights on one wall or run them side by side, which is how they look best.
Materials
Australian camphor laurel
Camphor laurel is one of the more distinctive Australian hardwoods, aromatic and heavily figured, with tones running from warm amber through to deep honey within the same board. It is what gives each shelf its character, and the reason no two sets leave here looking alike.

Sized for the room, not the catalogue
Forty or fifty centimetres, which suits a stack of books, a few ceramics or a trailing plant rather than heavy storage. At 1.3kg capacity per shelf, treat them as styling rather than shelving.

IncludedShelf or shelves plus mounting brackets and hardware
The load rating for this shelf is listed in the specifications above. As a general guide, keep heavier pieces such as ceramics and books on the lower shelf and use the upper shelf for lighter styling objects. Fixing into a stud rather than plasterboard alone makes a significant difference.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Mounting hardware and instructions are included. For plasterboard we recommend using anchors rated for the load, or fixing directly into a stud where the position allows it.
How much assembly is involved?
Very little. Some shelves arrive ready to mount and others are flat packed with a small amount of assembly. Either way all hardware is included and most customers have it on the wall in around fifteen minutes.
Will the timber look exactly like the photos?
The form and dimensions will match, but the grain will not. These are natural timbers, so colour and grain pattern vary from piece to piece, which is what stops a shelf looking mass produced.
How is it packed for delivery?
Every shelf is inspected before it leaves us and packed with protection around the edges and corners, then shipped with tracking. If anything arrives damaged, email us a photo and we will sort it out.
How long will delivery take?
Orders are processed within 1 to 2 business days, and arrive within 4 to 9 business days in total, to both Australia and the United States. Shipping is free to both, with no minimum spend.

I was a bit unsure ordering natural wood online because I knew the grain wouldn't look exactly like the photos. Ours arrived with its own pattern and slightly different colouring between the two shelves, but that ended up being part of the appeal. They feel like individual pieces rather than identical factory-made shelves. Once mounted on the white wall, the contrast looks fantastic and gives the whole room a warmer feel.
I had been looking for floating shelves for months but most of them felt too plain and boxy. These immediately stood out because of the natural edge and variation in the wood. We mounted the pair in our living room with a bit of space between them and styled them with books, ceramics and a small plant. They add warmth without making the wall feel cluttered, and the grain looks especially nice when the afternoon light comes through the window.
We wanted something to break up a large blank wall without adding another cabinet or piece of furniture. The set of two worked perfectly. The floating design keeps everything feeling light, while the natural camphor wood adds texture and warmth. I was slightly worried the live edge might look too rustic for our home, but paired with simple ceramics and neutral colours it actually feels very modern.
