You’ve seen it before. The wooden coffee table that looks like it was plucked from a forest floor and polished to a nearly reflective surface. Sturdy but curved, no one table alike. It makes a subtle centerpiece, a practical piece of art that gets daily use.
You might call it rustic or farmhouse style. You might think of it as Western. If you know the history of handmade furniture, you might say it is in the style of George Nakashima. We know it as a live edge, and we carry it in walnut, cherry, and cedar.

It takes a little more labor, but the results are phenomenal. A blue hue looks particularly good with the warm colors of cedar.
