Questions About Live Edge Desk
- What is a live EDGE desk?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021A live-edge desk is a desk in which the original gnarled shape of the edge of a tree beneath its bark is not sawed off, but it is preserved carefully for a raw look. Unlike traditionally finished desks, a live-edge desk brings the natural lines of the tree into the living space, creating the illusion of being outside within. Find a variety of live-edge desks on 1stDibs today.
- What is live edge furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Live edge or natural edge furniture incorporates the natural edge of the wood into the piece. This may mean that the artist even leaves the natural cracks, or they might fill them in with resin. Because the pieces are unique and in high demand, the pieces can be more expensive than other wooden furniture.
- What is a live edge bench?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022A live edge bench is a piece of furniture that features a live edge seat. This means that the top is a slab of wood that shows off the edges of the tree trunk, allowing you to admire its natural patterns and imperfections. Find a collection of live edge benches on 1stDibs.
- What is a live edge table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021A live edge table is a table where the natural, organic edge of a tree beneath its bark is not shaved off to create a straight edge.
- What is a live-edge table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 26, 2021A live-edge table is a table that sees the actual gnarled shape of the edge of a tree on at least one side of the structure. This kind of table preserves the forest's natural beauty — impurities in the wood are retained, and the tree's edges are left undisturbed for at least part of the table. Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary live-edge tables from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
- What does live edge wood mean?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Live edge wood means wood where the natural organic edge of a tree beneath its bark is not shaved off to create a straight edge.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021The best finish for a live edge table varies. Live edge tables can be treated with a number of finishes. Clear-oil finishes topped with polyurethane, lacquer, or shellac accentuate the wood’s natural grain and texture.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Old-growth redwood, as it is the most stable, is one of the most popular woods used for live edge tables. Black walnut, cherry and oak are also great live-edge options. You can shop a collection of live-edge furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
