Quick Answer: The Dogberry Collections Live Edge Floating Shelf is a real wood fireplace mantel and display shelf that preserves the natural, irregular outer edge of the slab — available in 24″–72″ lengths, Aged Oak or Natural finish, at approximately 2″ tall × 8″ deep. No two pieces are identical.
A live edge shelf is the opposite of engineered predictability — it keeps the natural outer boundary of the wood slab exactly as the tree grew it, curves, variations, and all. The Dogberry Collections Live Edge Floating Shelf is crafted from real solid wood and finished in our Colorado workshop to enhance the slab's natural grain and edge character. Use it as a fireplace mantel shelf, a floating display shelf in a living room, a bedside ledge, or an entryway accent. In any application, the live edge turns a functional shelf into a conversation piece.
