How We Build a Live Edge Walnut Table

At Pisgah Wood, every live edge walnut table we create is a unique expression of craftsmanship, natural beauty, and timeless design. Here’s how we transform raw walnut wood into a stunning centerpiece.

🪵 1. Wood Selection – Only Premium Walnut
The process begins with carefully selecting the highest-quality solid walnut wood. We handpick slabs that showcase beautiful grain patterns, deep color, and natural edge forms. Only responsibly harvested, kiln-dried hardwoods are used in our workshop.

✂️ 2. Preparing the Slabs
We trim the edges while keeping the natural live edge intact. Each piece is flattened, jointed, and glued with precise alignment to form a seamless tabletop. This process preserves the organic shape of the wood while ensuring structural strength.

🔨 3. Sanding and Surface Refinement
The surface is sanded multiple times to achieve a smooth, even texture. We refine every detail by hand — enhancing the natural wood grain and giving the surface a silky finish.

🌊 4. Optional Epoxy Filling (if requested)
If the wood has knots or natural splits, we may fill them with high-grade epoxy resin to maintain stability without compromising beauty. This step adds character while reinforcing durability.

🎨 5. Finishing – Protect and Enhance
We apply a durable, food-safe oil-based satin finish that protects the surface from moisture, heat, and daily use. This finish also brings out the rich, warm tones of the walnut wood, making the table visually striking and touchably smooth.

🪑 6. Attaching the Base
Finally, we attach high-quality metal or wooden legs, chosen according to the customer’s preference. Whether you opt for a modern cross-leg base or rustic X-frame, the final table blends design and functionality perfectly.

📦 7. Final Inspection & Packaging
Before shipping, we inspect the table to ensure top-tier quality. It is then securely packed in a custom wooden crate for safe worldwide delivery.
