Live Edge Slab Tables

  • What is a live edge slab table?

    A live slab edge table is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of furniture handcrafted from a single slab of locally sourced wood. The "live edge" is the natural, uncut edge of the tree, which is preserved and finished to highlight the wood's organic beauty, grain, and shape.

  • Where do you get your wood?

    We use high-quality, locally sourced wood for our live edge slab tables, often from our own property. This ensures each piece is unique and brings the natural beauty of the local area into your home.
