One of our amazing live edge table Creators, Hazel Oak Farms, based in Amana, Iowa, has answered a few questions for us to help us better understand the process of creating a live edge table and help you know what to look for when purchasing one. Although live edge tables possess a very natural appearance, they are very carefully preserved, often with a natural finish, so they are durable, safe, and built to last.

For example, two live edge slabs can be combined and their gap filled with resin or epoxy to make a beautiful, unique river table. Live edge wood can be used in many different ways to bring a rustic, one-of-a-kind look to furniture. Alternatively, a live edge slab is a wood slab in which the edge of curvature is not sawn, in order to preserve the natural, raw look of the wood. Typically, when logs are cut into slabs, the natural edges of the wood underneath the bark are removed to form straight edges. A live edge table embraces the unique, organic shape of the wood.
