View Our Google ReviewsWhat is Live Edge?
A live edge is when the edges of a slab, or flitch, have not been cut or processed. This leaves the natural flowing edge of the tree intact, giving these pieces a uniqueness and beauty that can't be matched. We intentionally leave the live edge through milling and processing to provide this highly sought after look. All of our Live Edge Tables are milled right here at The Lumber Shack by our expert sawyers.

Shop Live Edge Dining TablesView Inspiration >Live edge bookmatched tables
Our wood experts have been trained to keep our unique log sets together all the way through milling and drying. This allows us to bookmatch two slabs, or flitches, and create our Bookmatched Table Top Sets. To bookmatch is to open two slabs that were face to face in the tree and place them side by side, much like pages in a book. These bookmatched slabs can then be used to create wood table tops that are wider or longer than the tree itself. The grain patterns, characteristics, and color of each slab are almost mirror images, providing a nearly seamless build for your project.
