Live Edge Coffee Table- Walnut And Mahogany- Modern- Rustic- Sustainable- Reclaimed
This unique live edge coffee table is made from remnant cuts of walnut and mahogany slabs. One single slab of walnut was cut into two pieces and a slab of mahogany was joined between them. This resulted in a super contrast of dark walnut with natural edges on the ends and a bright cream colored center with the mahogany. The piece has been planed flat, sanded smooth and finished in a hand-rubbed satin poly. This finish can withstand coffee mugs, hot plates, spills and the usual horseplay that we all know goes down in the living room. The top is fitted to four steel hairpin legs. The legs have been clear coated for protection. Overall, it's a unique look. Between the color contrast, clean lines along the length sides, natural edges on the ends and beautiful natural wood character, there's a little something to catch every eye. Modern, rustic, and mid century, combined with the fact that it's made from reclaimed wood makes this piece a winner all around. The finished piece measures 42 3/8" L x 17 1/2" W x 17 3/4" H.

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.
