Live Edge Cedar Bench
A bench built from a live edge Cedar slab. The legs are built from Cherry and tied together with a Maple stretcher using through mortise and tenon joint. The bench is made of 100% hardwoods that is all locally sourced. The bench shown is finished with a water-based polyurethane to show off the true colors of the wood. The size of the bench can be customized to meet your needs. A variety of woods can be used for the live edge slab such as Walnut, Cherry, Oak, Sycamore, and Koa as we have access to a number of suppliers of live edge slabs. Each slab is unique, we plane (mostly by hand) each side of the slab to get them level and co-planar.

Puffball Designs LLC,, is a husband and wife team. We design and create one-of-a-kind home decor items. Some are functional, some are decorative, and all strive for an original artistic flair.
We use materials ranging from hardwoods to stained glass to fabrics, paints, pastels… whatever we feel we need to make the objects that we envision and come to life.
On occasion our projects are inspired by a combination of other things that we have seen, but more often than not our inspiration comes from the raw materials themselves -- we like the challenge of experimentally combining the eclectic mix of materials that we find to make the items. We especially get satisfaction from taking the discards and remnants others overlook and giving them new life.
We primarily do one-of-a-kind spec pieces, but we also do from time-to-time smaller custom pieces.
We build everything ourselves out of our small home workshop located in the Virginia Piedmont region. Puffball Designs LLC is a registered Limited Liability Company (LLC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

For Hawaiian Koa Wood Art Deco Slab Table Lamp5.0The folks at Puffball made me a beautiful Koa lamp. They were very helpful and efficient in developing and implementing the design, and getting the finished product out to me. I look forward to working with them again.

For Hawaiian Koa Wood Art Deco Slab Table Lamp5.0I had a Koa lamp that was given to me as a give a few years back and wanted another to match. The second lamp is as awesome as the first! Great working with these guys all around, highly recommended!

For Hawaiian Koa Wood Art Deco Slab Table Lamp5.0Cannot say enough good things about Puffball. They took on our project as though they were making a lamp for themselves. Prompt communication, attention to every detail and full and complete engagement in working to meet our needs characterized the interaction. They were able to take my rather vague and woolly input and turn it into a piece of art that is perfect in every way. The lamp is now installed in our boat and has attracted attention from everyone who has come aboard. Would - and likely will - absolutely use Puffball again.
