Every once in a while a project comes through the shop that reminds us why we started building furniture in the first place. This past spring, a family from Marshall County asked for a live edge dining table big enough to hold three generations at once. They...

Walk through any big box store and you’ll see rows of identical furniture. Same shape. Same color. Same lifespan. It works, but it doesn’t mean much. Live edge wood is different. Every slab carries its own history, growth rings, weather marks, and natural...

A lot of folks see the finished desk and never think about the weeks behind it. Truth is, the process is slow on purpose. First comes drying and stabilization. Then flattening, sanding, and careful inspection of every crack or knot. Some pieces need resin...

More people are working from home than ever, and that has changed what they expect from a desk. It’s not just a place to set a laptop anymore. It’s where business happens, ideas start, and long days get finished. This year we built several adjustable...

Furniture built for homes and furniture built for businesses are not the same thing. Offices, break rooms, and public spaces see constant use, which means the construction has to be stronger from the start. Over the past year we’ve worked with several local...

As the year turns, we usually take a little time to look back at what came through the shop. Dining tables for growing families. Desks for new businesses. Small pieces built as gifts that will probably outlast all of us. What stands out most isn’t the...

We Stand Behind Our Amazing Desks. We sit behind them sometimes too. Our desks components are designed by expert furniture makers, where the craft of furniture making has been built into our culture. Our frames are sourced in the highest tolerance steel. We sourced unequaled materials and built these desks by hand in Alabama - a place that defines manufacturing excellence.

Discreet Adjustability
The Wooden Nickel
Our goal is to create your visions, such as Dining Tables, Stools, Sofa Tables, etc, . All Live Edge Furniture is made from kiln dried wood. Each piece we make has a buffalo nickel embedded in some location. Wooden Nickel offers a wide variety of different species of wood, and custom designed
bases of metal or wood for an industrial look. We welcome any custom design and size.

We make wood and metal bases. The slab is sized and finished first. We then make a base that matches the size and shape of the slab. Special orders with special sizes can be made to fit the slab. All of our stock furniture is made to standard sizes. We offer several finishes from natural metal to color paints.
We use Rust-Oleum on all the metal. To protect the floor we put metal pads, felt pads, or Plastic caps on the feet. No raw metal is ever in contact with the floor.
Special bases with wood, casters and other options can be ordered. KD bases are available. We can do bases only for your project.
Once the finish sanding is done, we are ready to put our top coat on.
We use a hard water resistant clear finish and the number of coats depends on the table.
The table is then re-sanded for the second coat which most tables typically get 3 to 6 coats of finish. This gives the table years of use with a very rugged durability.
We normally use "Flat" but "Semi-Gloss" and "Gloss" are available.
If the table is marked with a ___ we have it in stock. If a table has a marking of ___ then it has been sold, but we can make one similar. If we are making a new table then you can request a custom size. If it is a table that will require a lot of change, we will get you to approve the work.
We have a good stock of slabs but we don’t always have all the woods in all sizes, please check with us before you need.
Most of our logs come from tree services and loggers.
Our logs are sawed 2 1/2" for tables, 1 1/2" for shelves, this may vary depending on the log. We air stack the wood for drying, and then place into a kiln for drying to the appropriate moisture level. After kiln drying the go into stock for production.
