The Main Reason I Am Obsessed With Live Edge
Live Edge slabs are breathtakingly beautiful!
This is a slab of Live Edge Black Walnut that will be crafted into a coffee table. This wood was reclaimed from a tree that was damaged badly in a wind storm and had to be taken down.
Live Edge pieces are gaining popularity not only because they’re incredibly sturdy, but because their rugged beauty is unparalleled. The natural elegance of the stunning wood in Live Edge dining tables, coffee tables, and night stands really can take your breathe away.
I believe it has something to do with texture obsession. The obsession with natural wood in all of its forms. I find myself gushing and lusting over pieces of raw, imperfect, primal, natural, unprocessed wood. The smell, the feel and the sight.
Live Edge is called Live Edge because the slab of wood is preserved in its circumferential entirety. The outer corners of the visible tree trunk remain. The Live Edge maintains the natural beauty of its home, the forest.
The native spirit of the wood is kept alive and the edges of the tree are left untouched.
Live Edge lumber is used along with other salvaged and reclaimed materials. Live Edge pieces are popular for their sturdiness, rugged elegance and beauty.
