Maybe a sketch, or picture from a woodworker magazine would be helpful, or choose from furniture designs on our website, or others.
At this point we work with you to specify the customization of your piece like epoxy fill, butterfly's or bowties, glass inlay and cuts or shaping necessary to accentuate nature's beauty, and designing or sourcing a base or legs (if needed) too.

The drying process can't be rushed.
It usually takes 1-5 years to properly dry live edge material.
In our journeys, we've seen people try to speed up this process and sell pieces made of wood that hasn't properly dried.
They'll take a piece of wood and rush it into the kiln - and by doing so, they lock the moisture in the wood.
Any piece made out of improperly dried wood will have a much higher likelihood of warping, cracking, and twisting as it continues to naturally dry in your home.
We've acquired tools that test the internal core of the wood, so we know with certainty that the material we use has been dried correctly.
