THE LIVE EDGE TABLE

A one-of-a-kind piece of custom hardwood furniture defined by a silhouette, contours and grain pattern that nature will never repeat.

Every custom live edge dining table and live edge conference table we create begins with an extraordinary hardwood material selected for its natural character, figure, and presence. The result is a functional furniture sculpture tailored to your space and built to last for generations.

WHAT IS A LIVE EDGE TABLE?

A live edge table preserves the natural contour of the tree, showcasing the organic edge exactly as it grew.

Unlike conventional furniture, no two slabs are alike. Each carries its own grain movement, figure, color variation, and natural markings. Once finished, the true depth and warmth of the wood emerge, revealing details that only real hardwood can provide.

Every live edge table is inherently one of a kind.

SOURCING THE RIGHT SLAB FOR YOUR PROJECT

Every project begins with finding the right piece of wood.

Some slabs are discovered quickly. Others require months or even years of searching. Depending on your vision, we may source a striking Claro Walnut, timeless White Oak, richly colored Black Walnut, or a highly figured Burl selected specifically for your project.

The foundation of every exceptional live edge table is an exceptional slab.

BUILT FOR GENERATIONS

Before a slab can become a table, it must be properly seasoned and stabilized.

Air Dried

Each slab is naturally seasoned for three years or longer, depending on thickness and species.

Kiln Dried

The wood is then kiln dried in a controlled environment for several weeks, bringing it to true furniture grade stability.

This process helps ensure your table remains beautiful and structurally sound for generations.

TABLETOP CONFIGURATIONS

Single Board

The ultimate expression of rarity.

A single uninterrupted slab preserves the complete story of the tree, revealing a natural silhouette that can never be replicated.

Bookmatch

Two sequential slabs from the same log are joined side by side to create a dramatic mirrored grain pattern.

A timeless option that highlights the artistry of both nature and craftsmanship.

Miller Seamed

Multiple boards from the same species are carefully joined to create a larger surface while maintaining visual harmony and continuous grain flow. Ideal for larger dining and conference tables.

Epoxy River Tables

Epoxy resin casting transforms otherwise challenging sections of wood into defining design features, preserving more of the tree’s natural character and creating striking finished works such as epoxy river tables, where hardwood and resin flow together as a single composition.

DETAILS THAT HONOR THE WOOD

Inspired by the philosophy of George Nakashima, we embrace the natural character of the timber rather than conceal it.

Butterfly Joints

Natural checks and cracks may be stabilized with hand-cut bowtie butterfly joints that add strength while preserving the story of the wood.
