What is a Live Edge?
Live edge oak is a style of furniture where the natural edge of the wood is incorporated into the design. It is often used in table tops, and provides a rustic, natural look. The live edge can be left natural or finished with a protective coating.
Make a statement with our live edge furniture collection. Live edge furniture has strong visual appeal, retaining the natural beauty and character of the wood with its grain, curves and undulations on full display, breathing life into any setting.
Straight Edge – Full Stave
Full stave oak tops are made of single, continuous planks of oak with no finger joints across the grain. This gives a consistent and uninterrupted appearance to the wood. The wider planks also make full stave oak tops more stable and less prone to warping or twisting. They are perfect for creating a solid and durable tabletop with a natural, organic look. Full stave oak tops can be finished with a range of oils or stains to enhance the natural beauty of the wood.
Straight Edge – Finger Joints
Finger jointed oak tops are made by joining smaller oak boards together using finger joints, creating a larger, solid piece. This process is cost-effective and eco-friendly as it reduces waste. The joints provide extra strength and stability to the table top. Finger jointed oak tops have a uniform appearance, with no natural irregularities or knots. These tops can be finished in a variety of ways, such as staining, oiling, or varnishing, to enhance the natural beauty and durability of the oak.
