Live Edge Coffee Table- Maple Burl- Dual Slab Table- Modern- Rustic- Organic- Contemporary
This interesting live edge coffee table was made by jointing two book-matched slabs of Maple Burl. Burls usually offer more unusual shapes and grain patterns and this piece shows that well. Both pieces are packed with figuring. The two matching slabs were jointed to each other in a fashion that glorifies their organic shapes and leaves a mirroring void throughout the middle of the coffee table. The wood has been planed flat (although one side cups/tapers a tad towards the edge), sanded smooth and finished in an oil and satin poly combo. The legs selected for this piece were upcycled off of a dated piece of mid century/ industrial furniture and are too cool! They appear to be extremely dense hand-casted aluminum with a nice taper and rounded ball feet. The legs have been cleaned up and clear coated for protection. If looking for a unique coffee table that gives a nod to nature, mid century design, industrial flair and craftsmanship…this may be a winner! Would work well in a traditional, rustic, contemporary, modern, industrial or any other setting. Very versatile piece! Measures: 35.5" L x 23" W avg x 16.75"H and is 1.25" thick.

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.
