Live edge tables in Hawaii

Live edge wood slabs are wood material in its rawest form. With its raw form, comes a beauty that other material choices that other wood choices cannot match.

Live edge dining brings the outside natural world indoors. No two wood slabs are ever exactly the same, therefore creating one of a kind custom furniture. Choice of wood species and material for the base creates appeal ranging from the contemporary spectrum to the rustic.

After making numerous live edge dining tables or wood slab coffee tables over the years, we have come to realize some of the reasons why live edge tables are a great piece of furniture to have at home:

  1. Live edge tables can be modern or rustic. The live edge slab can bridge a few different styles. A live edge table with a black steel base can sit in a minimalist condo or a warehouse, and it will look amazing. On the other hand, with a choice of a traditional wooden base, a live edge table can look rustic. The naturalness of the live edge slab is rustic. While the industrial presence of the steel legs, for example, can elevate the live edge table to the modern spectrum.

  2. Live edge tables don’t go out of style, ever! With certain pieces of furniture, you can tell which era they were built in. However with a live edge table, you get a timeless piece of furniture, that will work for many generations to come.

  3. Live edge tables bring the outside into our homes. A recent U.S. study showed that there is a widening disconnect with nature. More than half of adults reported spending five hours or less in nature each week (DJ Case and Associates 2017). Live edge tables conjure images of the forest, the nature that surround us. The slab IS a gift of the forest. We hope that having a live edge table helps to connect with nature to some extent.
