Every slab table we create is made to order. Although we call them live edge tables, your finished tabletop does not have to keep the natural live edge. A growing trend is to cut the live edge away for a cleaner, straighter silhouette—an especially beautiful option if you do not want the in-and-out movement of a natural edge.
When we remove the live edge, you still receive a striking slab top approximately two inches thick. Unlike a dimensional tabletop assembled from several narrower boards, your top can be crafted from one beautiful single slab or from two consecutive slabs joined as a book-matched pair. You can see examples of tables with the live edge removed below.
Once we know what you are looking for, I personally source the slabs for you from the Pennsylvania sawmills we work with.
We will begin with your approximate dimensions and the character you want in the wood. You may prefer a wide single slab or a book-matched top, a cleaner slab with a quieter grain, or a slab with dramatic movement and natural character. As I find slabs that fit your vision, I will send you photos and videos so you can see the wood and be part of the selection process.
A $500 sourcing fee begins this personalized process. The full $500 is credited toward your final invoice once we select the wood species and slab size and confirm the price of your table.
The slabs used to craft our live edge tables come from Pennsylvania trees that have fallen naturally or needed to be taken down for safety or health reasons.
After the fallen tree trunks arrive at the sawmill, they are cut into slabs approximately 2 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The slabs are then air-dried in a temperature-controlled building for at least one year. Before we craft them into furniture, they undergo additional kiln drying at a higher temperature for many weeks.
This critical drying process helps create consistent density throughout the wood, prepares the slab for life inside your home, and allows us to craft a smooth, beautiful tabletop that can better withstand changes in temperature and humidity.
We offer two primary slab options for tabletops:
Either option can retain its natural live edge or be cut straight for a cleaner profile. Removing the live edge is especially popular for kitchen island tops and for clients who love the width, thickness, and character of slab wood but prefer a more refined silhouette.
Commonly available species include walnut, cherry, maple, oak, sycamore, hickory, and elm. Each species has its own color, grain pattern, movement, and character. We would be happy to help you choose the wood that best complements your home and existing décor.
Our durable clearcoat protects the tabletop while showcasing the wood's natural patina and distinctive grain.
We primarily pair our slab tops with metal bases because their simple profiles keep the focus where it belongs: on the artistry, grain, and movement of the wood. We offer a wide variety of metal base styles so you can select one that complements both your slab and your space without competing with the top.
For tables beginning at 84 inches long and approximately 40 to 44 inches wide:
Final pricing depends on the wood species, exact dimensions, and the slab selected. Once we know the size you need and the type of slab you are looking for, we can provide a more specific estimate.
Tell us your approximate table dimensions, preferred wood species if you have one, and whether you are drawn to a clean, straight edge or a natural edge with more movement and character. We will guide you through the options and help you select a slab that feels right for your home.
A live edge or slab table is more than furniture. It is a unique piece of Pennsylvania's landscape—rescued, revived, and crafted to last. Each one-of-a-kind table preserves the story of its tree, honors sustainable practices, and brings artistry and heritage into your home.
