Elephant Timber supply beautiful kiln dried wood slabs with a natural and irregular edge that follows the shape of the tree it was cut from. Our timber can be used to make a stunning live edge coffee table, live edge sofa table or a live edge side table.
Live edge wood coffee tables are stylish and unique pieces of furniture that highlight the natural beauty of the tree the wood came from. Keeping the natural contours and imperfections of the live edge, creates a more organic look. As a result, your live edge coffee table will be one-of-a-kind, because no two wood slabs are the same.
The live edge design often features bark inclusions, knots, and varying grain patterns, which add to its natural charm. Common woods used for live edge tables include oak, cherry, cedar, ash and elm. The choice of wood affects the table’s finished colour, grain pattern and durability. You can finish your live edge coffee table, live edge sofa table or live edge side table with a clear sealant or oils that will enhance the wood’s natural appearance, while also providing protection. Or you may wish to stain your wood to achieve a specific colour.
