  • The Process of Making a Live Edge Table

    by Ethan Morford

    A live edge table embraces the unique, organic shape of the wood. Typically, when logs are cut into slabs, the natural edges of the wood underneath the bark are removed to form straight edges. Alternatively, a live edge slab is a wood slab in which the edge of curvature is not sawn, in order to preserve the natural, raw look of the wood. Live edge wood can be used in many different ways to bring a rustic, one-of-a-kind look to furniture. For example, two live edge slabs can be combined and their gap filled with resin or epoxy to make a beautiful, unique river table. Although live edge tables possess a very natural appearance, they are very carefully preserved, often with a natural finish, so they are durable, safe, and built to last.

  • Choosing Your Metal Finish

    by Ethan Morford
    Powdercoating your metal products not only looks great, but it provides a a long-lasting, resistant finish. Powdercoat (or powder coat) is a high quality finish found on many household items. It provides a more durable finish compared to liquid paints, but it offers the same attractive appearance. Products finished with a powdercoat finish are more resistant to scratches, abrasion, fading, and other wear issues.
