Welcome to the wonderfall world of live edge!
Live edge (or natural edge) is a style of furniture in which the natural edge of the wood is incorporated into the design of the piece. Hardwoods such as maple, oak, walnut, hickory, ash, and cherry are great for furniture that gets a lot of use and that needs to be strong and durable, such as dining room tables, coffee tables, or end tables. But those woods are also ideal for decorative pieces like tables, headboards, and display shelves. Creating live edge furniture is also a smart way to re-purpose salvaged wood that can’t be used in conventional woodworking.
Special challenges arise when designing and building live edge pieces, and there are several methods for creating live edge pieces. Sometimes the natural holes and cracks in the wood are left open, while other times the furniture may be beautified by filling gaps with resins.
With graceful curves and natural textures, every piece of live edge furniture is unique, making the style increasingly popular with customers who want their homes to be places to relax and appreciate art. Shown on this spread are pieces made of sturdy maple and ash that can stand up to wear and tear. Contact your dealer for a full range of styles available from Peachey.
