Live edge woodworking design started off as a necessity. Early American settlers, building in new territory, needed a way to build functional furniture for their families quickly. Time was precious so trees were simply sawn into on pieces of unfinished slabs to build basic furniture.

Midcentury modern woodworker, architect and furniture-maker George Nakashima (1905-1990), known for leaving the natural edge of the wood as part of the finished piece, is credited with igniting the popularity and inspiration behind the live-edge design we see today. He used irregular timber edges as a design element in his furniture. 

Nakashima studied architecture at M.I.T. and then went to Japan to study traditional Japanese design and joinery. His first use of live-edge in his work came after his return to the US, right after World War.

Handcrafted by my family and I in our workshop. All of the wood we use is from Minnesota grown trees, known for their natural beauty. Chamfered edges for that extra touch. The back of the boards has our logo. You can request one without.  ~Kevin
