“A tree is our most intimate contact with nature.”
Why Live Edge Furniture?
For some, furniture is solely about function and nothing more. Others, it takes on a new meaning and goes beyond the need for a certain piece to fill a spot in a room. One dazzling and unique table can immediately grab the attention of the room, and be the topic of conversation with guests. Which is where live edge furniture comes in, the natural organic texture of the raw slab of wood brings an element of nature that we all can appreciate. It is bold, it is raw, and yet it goes so well with modern designs. What is even greater is the story behind the large single piece of wood everyone is asking about, and you get to tell them what type of tree it came from. Maybe that tree fell down in a storm, and the local sawmill that you drive by everyday happened to save it from being firewood. Or a local woodworker that you heard of through a friend was selling their work locally, and they custom built this piece for your needs and signed the bottom with their name and date. These simple elements add meaning to each piece of handcrafted furniture I build, and my hope is that you connect with each piece you bring home and share its story.
