Live Edge Slabs
What Is A “Live Edge”?
Live edge (or natural edge) is a style of furniture that incorporates the wood’s natural edge into the finished product.
Live edge wood is milled from naturally fallen trees due to wind or storms. It adds an organic, sophisticated, and elegant look to a space while preserving nature.
OUR ORDERING PROCESS
Because every slab is different, we price our labor on an individual basis. You decide your perfect finish, fills, and base options, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Picking out your slab. Either you have a piece of wood already in your possession or you are shopping around for the slab itself. Our favorite supplier is our friends at Berkshire Products in western MA. Feel free to browse their online site; they have the country’s largest selection, and a great site with detailed pictures and measurements. Send us the slab’s item number, or photo of your own slab, and we’ll get started.
We contact you about the table’s finish; how you’d like to address any holes or cracks in the slab; and what type of base you’d like us to install.
We send you a price estimate.
Should you like to proceed, we will reserve the slab for you, and send you an invoice for the deposit to get into our production calendar.
You send your deposit to Saltwoods.
We will then schedule an appointment at a later date for the client to come into the shop and go over the entire project in detail; where to make the cuts, cracks, edges, finishes, fills, and base.

We absolutely love the table Dan and his crew made for us! It’s even more beautiful than we’d hoped. The process was very smooth, and when there were some inevitable delays around the holidays, Dan lent us a different gorgeous table for the interim.

From choosing the wood slab to picking the trestle and chairs, my experience at Saltwoods was so much better than I ever expected. The live edge dining room table and chairs are stunning and the workmanship is at the highest level. This group of artisans know how to work with wood and customers. I can’t say enough good things about them. I will be back for a coffee table.

Dan was excellent throughout the purchase of our 72″ Sycamore slab table with steel x-legs. The entire process was seamless and he explained everything and provided recommendations. Although he can acquire any species from a western MA distributor, his shop had several slabs in inventory; which is what we ended up going with because the shape was perfect for our bay window bench. He was thorough and I think the price was amazing for the product delivered. Will recommend him to others, go with his work. You wont regret it!

Starting the Process
Every live edge table starts with…
The approximate dimensions you want for your table (Example 88″ x 39″).
Your desired color tone (Example: mid brown, dark brown, reds, blonde).
We will send you some links to a few slabs from our favorite mill Berkshire Products, accompanied with an overall estimate.
You can continue to shop on their site for other slabs. We encourage you to find the right slab that speaks to you in terms of curves, color tone, and price.
Saltwoods will reserve your wood slab, collect a deposit (the cost of the slab), and schedule an appointment with you and our crafting team. We’ll finalize your project in greater detail: finish, base, design, and epoxy.
