This live edge coffee table is made from a tree slice of Maple. The circular live edge slab has one noticeable drying check. The wood is stabilized, has been kiln dried and 2 graduated walnut inlays were placed at stopping point of drying check to inhibit further checking (cracking). It's a beautiful slab of wood with a plethora of tans, golds, beige and even black line spalting. The top has been planed flat, sanded smooth and finished in a proprietary oil-based satin polyurethane finish. This finish is durable and embraces the natural wood look. The top rests on dual 2" x 2" industrial style steel u-shape bases. The bases have been clear coated for protection. All in all, this is a hip round table that can be used as a coffee table or side table/ end table. It's stout, elegant, modern, industrial, organic and handmade in my humble Kentucky workshop. This piece measures around 33" x 30" x 18 7/8" H and the table top is a husky 2 5/8" thick. This piece is ready to ship!

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.
