Live Edge Wood

What is live edge wood?

Live edge wood is a style of wood where the natural edge of the tree, including its knots and bark, is preserved to maintain an organic and rustic aesthetic. Rather than being cut into smooth uniform shapes, live edge boards and timber retain the natural curves and character of the original tree, making each piece unique. Commonly sourced from hardwoods like English oak and walnut, live edge boards, timber and slabs are highly valued for their rustic appeal and natural imperfections. Each board and slab brings a one-of-a-kind detail to any space, as no two pieces are identical.

What is live edge wood used for?

Live edge wood is commonly used to create distinctive and bespoke furniture pieces that emphasise a connection to nature. For instance, live edge wood boards are popular for crafting tabletops, kitchen islands and even bar countertops. A live edge tabletop makes for a stunning centrepiece, ideal for coffee and dining tables, where the raw edge provides visual contrast and brings the wow factor to any room. Live edge boards are also often used to make shelves and ledges, adding a natural rustic charm to kitchens, living rooms and offices alike. Many people appreciate live edge wood for its versatility, using it to bring charm and character to various interior décor projects.
