Wishlist Wednesday: Circle shelf


I am so in love with this circle shelf!  More details:  

Bride&Wolfe circle shelves are crafted by a local artisan in the Victorian countryside. We use solid lengths of Australian timber (Blackwood or White Ash) that are gently steamed and bent using Swedish wood-bending machinery dating back to the 1850s. The shelves are then hand-finished with lustrous Scandinavian wood oils to enhance the natural timber tones.  Built to last , they'll become as precious as the heirlooms they showcase.

  1. Sharon,
    You have some of the same traits as B's mom. I can't remember all of the shelves I made for her precious items. Brian probably now thinks that is how everybody lives :).

  2. Sadly, I'm pretty sure B is not going to be learning Swedish wood-bending techniques to make me this. And oh actually thanks to your example B actually thinks everyone should have more TVs than people who live in the house. So thanks.

  3. The number of TVs in a person's house has nothing to do with how many people live there - it's about how many rooms there are in the house. The normal calculation is Rooms / 2 = Correct number of TV's per house. Seesh, thought everyone knew that.

  4. If a tv is on in a room and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

  5. Not sure if it does or not but I am sure that I feel a whole better just knowing that it is there.

  6. That is soooo cool! Can I get this in Canada?

    I love your blog by the way. And I just figured out you were in Australia! I really enjoy your point of view and your pics!

  7. Hiya--I'm actually in the US (though I wish I were in Australia!) You could try to contact that shop to see if they'd ship to Canada--it's such a unique piece!
