Creating furniture from natural wood slabs is an involved process, with many considerations along the way. We guide our clients through every stage, from responsible sourcing and sustainable salvage to proper drying, slab selection, the characteristics of the raw material, leveling and fabrication, and the natural movement of wood over time. We also provide guidance on the proper care and maintenance of each finished piece.
Every live-edge slab is one of a kind, with natural variations in grain, color, figure, and mineral coloration that give it a distinct character. Images on our website serve as examples of our work and the natural beauty of the wood, rather than exact representations of the slab selected for each project. Slabs are chosen according to the specific requirements of each commission, including dimensions, shape, and overall suitability. Furthermore, the leveling and surfacing process can reveal deeper layers of the wood, unveiling colors and patterns that may not have been visible initially. As a result, the finished piece may differ somewhat from the example images.
Each project is an individual process of discovery, as the wood gradually reveals its character through the stages of craftsmanship. The finished piece is a reflection of both the natural material and the unique process of bringing it to life.
