Natural Edge Options

    One of the joys of working with natural-edge material, is that no two logs are alike. We love to “read the tree” and select interesting details to emphasize in our designs. We distinguish ourselves from other “natural-edge” woodworkers by being rigorous about using the actual edge of the tree. The true sinews, curves and growth rings in the edge can be exquisitely elegant. A gorgeous natural edge table reflects the way the material has been handled. Commercially processed logs are lifted using large machines with hooks and teeth that destroy the outer edge. We handle our logs with care, with a focus on preserving the natural edge of the tree. Each board is ‘de-barked’ by hand before stacking it up to dry. This discourages insects and fungus from growing in the nutrient-rich cambium layer just below the bark.

    Finding and featuring the most intriguing aspects of the log is our passion.
