Sofa Table- Live Edge- Industrial Table- Console Table- Desk- Natural Wood- Modern- Big Leaf Burl
This sofa table / console table is one amazing piece of furniture! It would be perfect as a console table, sofa table, desk, hallway table, etc. The top features a live edge slab of Big Leaf Maple Burl. Usually, this highly figured and unusual type of wood (growth) is sliced into thin sheets of veneer and only seen in the dashboards of luxury foreign automobiles. Finding a large slab possessing this exquisite natural beauty is a rarity. The top has been planed flat, sanded smooth and finished in a satin poly. The back was cut straight to allow the piece to nest closely against a wall, or behind a sofa. The facade shows the unique character with its natural edge and bumpy texture. The top rests on dual U-Shaped 1"x 2" steel legs. The legs have been finished in an Industrial look and have been clear coated for protection. The beauty of the natural wood combined with the steel legs gives a nice contrast of modern, rustic, industrial, organic and contemporary appeal. The finished piece measures: 49.5" L x 13" to 19.25" D x 30" H. The burl slab itself is 1.75" 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.
