Live Edge Walnut Dining Table with Matching Bench

This live edge walnut dining table keeps the natural edge of the slab on both sides and sits on a simple black steel base. The matching bench was cut to follow the same live edge, so the pair looks like it came from one tree.

The specs

  • Wood: solid live edge walnut
  • Top: natural live edges, built to size
  • Base: black steel
  • Bench: matching live edge walnut on a black steel base
  • Finish: natural walnut

Why live edge

A live edge table shows the actual shape of the tree, so no two are alike. Walnut is the favorite for it: dark chocolate heartwood, lighter sapwood near the edge and a lot of figure across the slab.

Why a steel base

A slim black steel base keeps the focus on the wood and adds a modern edge. It's also strong and takes up very little space under the table, so chairs fit easily.
