1. Cast Iron Shelf Brackets – Practical and Decorative
One of the most in-demand product ranges at OakCrafts is our collection of cast iron shelf brackets. These come in various styles, from plain and industrial to ornate floral or railway-inspired designs. Each bracket is crafted from solid cast iron with an antique or painted finish, offering strong support and period charm.
Whether you’re building a bookshelf, creating a wall-mounted display, or fitting kitchen storage, these brackets provide a secure, long-lasting option. Best of all, they’re decorative enough to be used in full view in modern or traditional settings.
2. Shaker Pegs – A Simple Solution for Hanging and Display
Shaker pegs are a versatile and minimalist choice for coat racks, utility rooms, kitchens, or children’s bedrooms. Available in oak, birch, and other hardwoods, our pegs come in several sizes and can be waxed, painted, or varnished to suit your decor.
The simple design and durable timber construction make them ideal for custom DIY coat rails, pegboards, or hall furniture.
3. Osmo Wood Finishes – Quality Oils and Protectors
We stock a wide range of Osmo wood finishes, which are well regarded by woodworkers, decorators, and homeowners alike.
