Warm, sturdy shelving in hardwood or quality pine, stained or painted, with clean edges and a look that improves with age.
Few materials feel as right in a pantry as real wood. It is strong, it can be repaired and it carries a warmth that laminate and wire cannot match. Solid wood shelving suits farmhouse, craftsman and traditional kitchens, and it holds up for decades when it is sealed and cared for. In Nashville, where many homeowners love natural materials and handmade detail, solid wood is a popular choice for pantries that double as a showpiece.
We work with hardwoods such as oak and maple and with quality pine, depending on your style and budget. Boards are selected for straight grain, milled to size and finished with stain, clear coat or paint. Edges are eased, fronts can have a face frame or trim, and spans are planned with supports so shelves do not sag under heavy jars. We seal every board, which makes cleaning easy and protects against spills and humidity.
Oak and maple are very hard wearing, while pine is lighter on the budget and takes paint beautifully.
Long shelves need supports or thicker boards, so we plan spans to prevent sagging under heavy loads.
Stain, clear coat or paint seals the surface and makes wiping up spills easy.
Eased edges, face frames and trim give the shelves a finished, furniture-like look.
