This live edge coffee table is made from a reclaimed walnut log acquired through the Kentucky Department of Highways. It has an unusual and organic shape and is packed with amazing color and character! It is an extremely thick tree slice (aka log round or cookie) and finished out around 4" thick. The wood has been air dried for over 5 years and placed into an electric kiln to kill of any bugs and bring the moisture content down. The smaller hairline looking drying checks (cracks) are only evident to the eye. The surface is as smooth as silk and finished in an oil and satin poly combo. This finishing combo protects against moisture, scratches and everyday use. There are two larger checks and one was fitted with a hand-carved wooden bowtie/inlay made out of Maple. The lighter colored bowtie gives a nice contrast and pops off of the chocolate heartwood seen in the walnut. This piece is fitted to 3 steel hairpin legs that have been clear coated for protection. This is a beautiful coffee table that would look excellent in any space and is packed with natural curiosities! Rarely are log rounds (especially in walnut) seen in this size regionally. Whoever purchases this natural beauty is going to be all SMILES when they see it in their space! :) Measures: 32" l x 24.25" w x 15.75" h x 4" thick.
Kentucky LiveEdge
Kentucky LiveEdge is operated by craftsman Drew Gahafer. He creates quality live edge furniture and unique applications for home and office.
Drew Gahafer is a self-taught woodworker, artist and furniture designer that got his start by upcycling furniture that was either thrown away, neglected, or purchased for mere pennies at yard sales or consignment shops. Plastics, glass, metals and wood were all materials that he was intrigued on refurbishing and building with. In 2008 he built his family home, which was a narrow shotgun style house. After weeks of housing the traditional square coffee table, he realized the dimensions took up 1/3 of the rooms space. In an effort to create something customized for his home space, he traveled back to his roots and brought back 2 narrow live edge slabs from a sawmill in Eastern Kentucky. By the time his first two pieces were near completion, his family and friends made offers on both pieces. He obliged and returned to the mountains for 5 live edge slabs of wood. Once those 5 were near completion, same story. To this day, his home lacks a coffee table.

This was my first experience using CustomMade.Com and what a pleasure it was. DG of Kentucky LiveEdge made super responsive from the first inquiry through delivery. Our live edge mantel came out exactly as we had hoped and I couldn't have asked for better. Thanks!
I'm extremely happy with the final product and it was very easy working with Drew.
