Live Edge Wood
Natural Beauty For Modern Homes
Live edge wood is valued for its natural beauty. It’s used in the construction of everything from tables to bed frames, desks, and more.
Because of its versatility, live edge can be used in any room of a home. We’ve worked with customers who have used live edge for a unique home bar top, shelves, and as work desks in home offices.
Of course, you might have a different project in mind – and we’re here to help bring this project to life. Browse our current inventory of slabs and rounds, or give us a call at 800.798.1269 for help finding the right piece.

Why Choose Live Edge?
One of the best parts about live edge wood is that it’s a sustainable material. We work with arborists and loggers to ensure every piece of live edge is harvested responsibly – often from local sources around the Northeast.
Live edge also offers homeowners a unique appearance. Every slab is unique. So regardless of what you’re using it for, the end result will be a beautiful, one-of-a-kind piece!
Finding The Right Size of Live Edge For Your Project
If you’re an avid DIYer, be sure to know what you need for your project prior to purchasing a slab. Here are some considerations:
Start with the dimensions of your finished project. This includes the length, width, and thickness of the piece you want to create. Remember, you'll likely need extra material for finishing and smoothing the edges.
Select the right wood species. Every type of wood is a bit different. They've all got their own hardness, look, and feel with the grain and color. Plus, they can act differently with finishes. Some are a breeze to work with, others offer a greater challenge. So, pick your wood based on how you want your project to look and work.
Choose the best grain for your desired look. When you're choosing a slab for your project, think about how the grain fits into your design. Do you want a straight, clean look, or are you after something more wild and dramatic? Also, keep in mind that the way you finish the slab can really bring out the grain and figure. Some finishes will highlight these features more than others, adding depth and dimension to the wood.
