Live Edge Table Tops

 

Our range of live edge table tops are crafted from premium oak sourced from England and France. These sustainable table tops are designed for strength, distinctive grain, and long-term durability.

We offer a unique selection of live edge table tops in different grades, from clean and contemporary to rich, characterful finishes that highlight the natural features of the timber.

Solid Hardwood Live Edge Table Tops, Made in Yorkshire

Our live edge wood table tops are crafted from full-depth solid hardwood rather than veneers or engineered boards. This gives each piece the natural grain, weight and character that make solid wood furniture so appealing, along with the potential to be sanded and refinished over time.

Every table top is carefully prepared in our Yorkshire workshop to create a smooth, level surface while preserving the distinctive contours of the timber. The natural edge follows the original shape of the wood, giving each piece an organic appearance that can't be replicated exactly.

Our collection includes live edge oak table tops made from English and French oak with their own distinctive colour and grain patterns.

Whether you're creating a rustic dining table, a contemporary desk or a statement piece of furniture, these natural hardwood surfaces bring warmth and individuality to the finished design.

Carefully Finished for Everyday Use

We take just as much care with the finish as we do with the timber itself. Our solid wood table tops are finished using quality protective products, including oils, hardwax finishes and lacquers, depending on the individual piece. These enhance the natural appearance of the wood while providing a surface suited to its intended use.

One of the advantages of choosing solid hardwood is that many surface marks and signs of wear can be addressed through appropriate maintenance or refinishing. The care required will depend on the finish, so we always recommend following the guidance for your particular table top.

As with all natural timber, grain patterns, knots and colour variations are part of its character, making every piece individual.

Our bespoke live edge table top service gives you the opportunity to create something suited to your particular project.

Whether you're looking for a made-to-measure oak dining table top, a solid wood desk surface or something a little different, our North Yorkshire workshop can discuss your requirements and the timber options available.

Get in touch to explore your preferred dimensions, natural edge, timber and finish. Because we work with real hardwood, the exact shape and character of a live edge will depend on the individual timber available.

Responsibly Sourced Timber with Lasting Character

Sustainability is an important part of how we work at Traditional Beams. We use responsibly sourced timber and take care to make the most of the natural materials that pass through our workshop.

By choosing a solid hardwood table top, you're investing in a piece of furniture that can be maintained, cared for and potentially refinished over many years, rather than something that needs replacing when the surface begins to show wear.

FAQ's

How do you maintain live edge table tops?

Day-to-day, we recommend using a natural cleaner or using a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh cleaners to protect the finish on your live edge table tops. You can also oil or wax our table tops every 3–6 months to keep the wood hydrated. 


How are live edge table tops made?

Our live edge wood table tops are created by selecting, drying, and surfacing sustainably sourced wood slabs, while keeping the original, raw tree edge intact. The process involves removing bark, flattening the surface with a router sled or planer, filling cracks with epoxy, sanding, and applying a protective finish.


What type of wood is used on a live edge table top?

We offer English or French oak live edge wood table tops, made from high quality and sustainably sourced wood.
