What is a Live Edge Table Top?
A live edge table top preserves the natural edge of the tree it was cut from. Unlike conventional tables with sharp, straight edges, live edge designs retain the original curves, bark lines, and imperfections of the wood. This unique style celebrates the organic contours of nature, offering furniture that’s truly one-of-a-kind.
When paired with epoxy resin, these tables are elevated into pieces of functional art. The epoxy fills voids, connects split slabs, and adds a striking contrast that enhances the natural grain and depth of the wood.
Why Choose a Live Edge Table?
A live edge table isn't just a piece of furniture—it's a centerpiece that elevates the style and atmosphere of any room. Here’s why it’s becoming a top choice among homeowners and designers alike:
- Authentic Beauty
No two slabs of wood are the same, and each live edge table top reflects the story of the tree it came from—complete with knots, rings, and natural imperfections. - Artistic Flair
Add epoxy to the mix, and you’ve got a true work of art. Whether it’s a crystal-clear river table or bold metallic pigment, epoxy enhances the table’s personality. - Durable and Functional
Crafted from hardwoods like walnut, maple, or teak, and reinforced with high-quality epoxy, these tables are built to withstand daily use while maintaining their stunning appearance. - Perfect for Any Space
From dining rooms and conference tables to home offices and cafes, these tables adapt beautifully to both rustic and contemporary settings. Choosing a live edge table means adding character, craftsmanship, and timeless charm to your interiors.

Epoxy’s Role in Live Edge Tables
Epoxy isn’t just about looks—it adds structure, stability, and versatility.
Structural Integrity
Epoxy reinforces natural wood flaws, strengthening the slab and protecting it from future splitting.
Moisture Resistance
The resin coating acts as a waterproof seal, making your live edge table top easy to clean and ideal for humid environments.
Custom Finishes
Epoxy allows you to introduce metallic pigments, transparency, or even embedded items like stones or leaves to make your table truly custom.
How to Care for Your Live Edge Table
To ensure your investment lasts a lifetime, here’s how to take care of your live edge table top:
- Clean with a damp, soft cloth—avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Use coasters or placemats to protect the surface from heat and scratches.
- Maintain indoor humidity to prevent the wood from expanding or shrinking.
- Re-oil the wood periodically if your table has an oil finish (check with the manufacturer).
