The Easy Way to Make A Live Edge Table

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 02:10:38 +0000

I have made a few live edge tables, and this is the easiest way I have found to shape and finish a live edge table top with pre-fabricated steel table legs. This DIY live edge table only took me a few hours to build I and I only needed 4 of my Ryobi power tools to build. The legs are from Semi Exact which is manufacturing steel furniture parts right here in America!

I have invested in Semi Exact and we are going to be rolling a bunch of new products that will make DIY projects a lot easier!

For beginners taking on their first live edge projects I suggest starting with a softwood slab like cedar. They are easier to work with and less expensive than hardwood slabs. I get my slabs from: https://www.woodslabs.com/default.aspx
