I was looking on amazon, and came across these:
Amazon Bracket
What sort of price range as I looking at for 3 boards 8/4 - 52"x12" in walnut 1 live edge? |
I'm doing the exact same thing right now and did my shopping at Windsor Plywood in Burnaby.
For comparison purposes, I bought a 48" one-live edge maple board, 1-5/8" thick and varying between 6 - 8" wide, for $195. For your board I'd guess you're looking at about $250+ IF you can find it. I was very lucky to get something so small as most other of their pieces were much, much larger and upwards of $600.
I'll be mounting this in two 24" sections, and have ordered two of
these brackets from Etsy.
My second shelf project is 2' off the end of a S4S 5/4 maple board, 6" wide and ripped down to 4". About $30. Lighter duty and the stud placement works out for me so I went with some
Lee Valley mounts similar to what you found on Amazon.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your project!
