Live Edge Tables

What are Live Edge Tables?

The result is furniture with an organic feel, and the beauty that comes from knots and cracks in any given tree’s growth pattern are often preserved.

Once harvested for their wood, they are now sought after by furniture makers who want this type of rare but beautiful piece in their work.

Burls (or bumps) can also be found on living tree trunks or root systems that grow around rocks near rivers where water currents bring nutrients like calcium carbonate upstream from lower tributaries. To create these protective structures during early stages of growths when roots cannot reach down into bedrock cracks. Buried away inside dirt & clay soils over years with no oxygen resulting in them reaching enormous sizes.
