Nottingham Live Edge Table
Starting at $3,480.00The Nottingham Table is a timeless live edge design in black walnut, built for everyday life and special gatherings. Durable, beautiful, and fully customizable.
Live edge tables celebrate the natural beauty of hardwood by preserving the organic contours of the tree from which they’re made. Rather than cutting wood into clean, straight planks, live edge craftsmanship embraces the raw edges of the slab—showcasing the unique curves, textures, and grain patterns that are specific to each tree. The result is a table that feels more like a living piece of art than mass-produced furniture, each one telling its own story.
These tables are built from solid hardwood slabs, never plywood or particle board. Natural features like knots, cracks, spalting, and grain variation are not considered flaws—they’re what make each piece distinct and beautiful. Skilled makers often stabilize cracks with butterfly joints, epoxy, or inlays, allowing these features to be preserved safely while adding to the table’s visual character. This is craftsmanship that respects the raw material and elevates its imperfections into highlights.
Live edge furniture is often associated with luxury and heirloom quality. The weight, scale, and authenticity of a live edge table communicate status without flash—it's the kind of piece that anchors a room and sparks conversation. Clients often choose this style because it bridges rustic warmth with modern sophistication, making it equally at home in a mountain retreat or a contemporary urban loft.
Some live edge tables are made from a single wide slab, often cut from trees that are decades—or even centuries—old. These pieces are rare and breathtaking in their continuity and presence. Others are made from two “bookmatched” slabs, joined together so that the mirrored grain and natural edges create a dramatic, symmetrical surface. Both styles honor the tree, and both are built to last for generations with proper care.
