If you want a dining table for your home that stands out, a live-edge dining table can definitely help you accomplish that goal! A live-edge dining table can serve as both a decorative and functional piece in your home. One that is well built by a custom furniture company like Smith Farms can be enjoyed for generations!
What Is a Live-Edge Dining Table?
A live-edge table is one that is made from wood slabs that retain the natural shape of the tree from which it is cut. In other words, the edges of the wood slabs used for the tabletop have not been sawn straight like they are in most dining tables. The result is a tabletop with a unique, organic shape.
Live-edge tables can be either rustic or modern, depending on how they are finished and the type of base that is constructed to support the tabletop, so they can be a great fit for just about any style of home.
Why You Should Go with a Custom Furniture Builder for Your Live-Edge Dining Table
Live-edge dining tables are certainly sold in furniture stores, but it can be difficult to find one that is exactly to your liking. You may find one with the type of wood you like, but the base could be a style that doesn’t match your preferences or personal design style. Or you may not be able to find a table that is the right size or shape for your dining room.
When you work with a custom furniture builder for your live-edge dining table, you don’t have to compromise on any of the details. You get exactly what you want!
Wood Used for Live-Edge Dining Tables
A beautiful live-edge dining table starts with slab selection. Most live-edge dining tables consist of two (or more) slabs that are joined together to create one large tabletop. The species of wood you choose will be based mostly on personal preferences on aspects like color, grain pattern, the presence (or absence) of knots and cracks, and the uniformity of the edges.
Smith Farms will also help you pick a slab that will be suitable for your dining table, taking into account things like slab thickness, hardness, defects that could affect the stability of the table, and how well the slab has been dried. Although the final selection of the slab is ultimately up to you, we can offer our expertise to help ensure that the slabs used for your table will meet all of your needs.
