What is a Live Edge Dining Table?

In woodworking, the term "live edge" refers to a thick slab of wood cut to size without removing its outer rings. These raw edges display the natural character and shape of each individual tree. Our slabs use solid Black Walnut wood.

Common Sizes for Live Edge Dining Tables

Live edge kitchen tables for six people should be a minimum of 66" long. This allows two people to dine comfortably on each side of the table, with another person at each end. Other common live edge dining room table sizes include:

• 42" wide x 96" long- Seats 10 people
• 44" wide x 108" long - Seats 10-12 people
• 44" wide x 120" long - Seats 12 people

Remember that all widths will vary with the live edge and natural curve of the slab's character. We stock our slabs in a variety of sizes. Come visit our showroom in Berlin, Ohio and select the exact slab you prefer for your tabletop. After you choose the slab, our craftsmen will cut the slab to your desired length.

Metal Bases for Live Edge Tables

We offer locally welded metal bases, a perfect complement to live edge tabletops. From the Golden Gate and Atlas style bases to classic hairpin legs, you are sure to find a base in a style you love. Our craftsmen also modify any standard wood dining base to accommodate a live edge slab upon request.

Benches and Chairs for Live Edge Dining Sets

Many people opt for a bench on one or both sides of the live edge wood dining table. Our benches are miniature versions of the tabletop, solid walnut wood with the live edge still attached. Bench bases are available to match all metal dining base styles. Traditionally, we keep the length of the bench approximately 12" shorter than the length of the table.

Wood dining chairs to match live edge tables are available in a wide range of styles. The Urbana Side Dining Chair with a black Maple wood frame and rustic Walnut wood seat is our top recommendation. The sleek Maple wood matches the black metal table base with the seat matching the tabletop.

Other popular chair styles for live edge tables include upholstered dining chairs. Upholstered chairs add softness and texture, creating a contrast that highlights the stunning wood tabletop.

Care and Maintenance of a Live Edge Slab Dining Table

Many people expect live edge tables to require maintenance to keep them looking good. Our Amish furniture makers in Ohio carefully kiln-dry the slabs over several months. Attaining a specific moisture content will protect the slab from warping or cracking.

After the slab is dry, we seal and varnish it using a catalyzed conversion varnish. The catalyzed varnish creates a heat- and water-resistant finish, making the slab ready to be used in your home.

To keep your slab looking good, simply keep it indoors in a controlled temperature and humidity. Clean it regularly using a mild soap and water, with a damp cloth. We do not recommend wood polishes or conditioners. The catalyzed varnish is hard enough that a polish will not penetrate the wood, only leaving a film on top of finish.
