Live Edge Dining Tables
Adding the Natural Curve of Wood to Your Table
Natural, Handworked Dining Tables
The unique natural edges of live edge dining tables make them an eye-catching centerpiece in any dining room or kitchen. They also provide a connection to nature and the outdoors, bringing a touch of the natural world into your home. Live edge dining tables are not straight or perfectly cut, but rather follow the natural curves of the wood. The term "live edge" refers to the fact that the wood is left in its natural state, without any trimming or alterations made to the edges.
Picking the Right Slabs
Each live edge dining table starts off by picking out the perfect slabs. We recommend visiting Alderfer Lumber as they have a great selection of slabs to choose from! These will start out at around 2" thick, but be finished at about 1.75" thick. The width of the table can also either be uniform/rectangular shaped or a more unique shape. The width will vary throughout.
The Perfect Layout
We'll glue up your slabs and work with you to get the exact layout you'd like for your table. We'll mark out a layout in chalk on the chosen slabs and cut it specifically so how you'd like it.
Finishing
After the design is finalized, we'll make sure the table is the exact size requested, and sand it down. We then apply a conversion varnish finish to give it the perfect look and protection it deserves.
Legs
We offer a variety of leg styles including aluminum H, X, or U - shaped. We can also craft custom wood bases that perfectly fit your design.
How are Live Edge Dining Tables Made?
1
Choosing The Right Materials
To start with, we work with each client to pick out the slabs that work best for them. This ensures that they get the exact design that they envision. A chalk outline is drawn on the slabs to get the specific size and shape. The slabs are flattened and planed to create a perfectly level surface. After this, they are sanded down to help remove splinters and shavings. The slabs are then measured and cut to size.

Building The Table
Both slabs are glued together in a bookmatching set, which allows for symmetry in the live edges. The ends are then trimmed off to get the exact dimensions, and the inserts for the legs are added. Larger solid wood tables can be heavy, so having sturdy legs to support them are really important. After ensuring everything is perfect, the table is ready for the finishing process.

Finishing
During the final stage, we apply a high quality conversion varnish finish that is toxic-free and made to last. Our hand finishes ensure an even distribution and smooth surface. This also allow for an easier surface to maintain and keep clean.
