Walnut Live Edge Coffee Table- Mid Century- Tapered Legs- Organic- Modern- Rustic- Reclaimed
This walnut live edge coffee table was made out of love and creativity. The top is a crotch-cut live edge slab that contains beautiful colors, curvatures, figuring and wood grains. The wood came off of an urban reclaimed log and after being kiln dried, has been waiting years for me to make something from it. The top slab was cut into half and connected using rectangular slats of walnut to add visual interest. This piece has been flattened, sanded smooth and finished in an oil and satin poly combo. The film finish will put up with cold drinks, hot coffee, liquid spills and rowdy house guests with no worries. The top has been married to four Mid-Century and Danish styled tapered legs. The legs were products from the 60's-70's and after cleaning them up, look good as new. The four legs also screw in/out, so you can adjust to taste on uneven floors. This awesome coffee table has a stellar blend of organic beauty, modern design, reclaimed/ upcycled materials, Mid-Century flavor and rustic intrigue. Ready to ship! Measures: 45 1/2" L x 15" to 31" W x 16 1/4" H. The walnut top is 1 5/8" thick.

Kentucky LiveEdge
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.

May 28, 2015This was my first experience using CustomMade.Com and what a pleasure it was. DG of Kentucky LiveEdge made super responsive from the first inquiry through delivery. Our live edge mantel came out exactly as we had hoped and I couldn't have asked for better. Thanks!
