Important Things To Know About Live Edge Furniture

Live edge furniture is seemingly everywhere these days, from high-end custom crafted furniture to big-box bargain stores. Live edge furniture tends to be pricier than other types of furniture, so how do you know if the piece of live edge furniture you are considering purchasing is high-quality?

Why should you choose reclaimed wood? A passion for reclaimed wood for many goes beyond its natural beauty – its historic background adds to the appeal. Others are drawn to the strength and durability not found in other material.

The Douglas fir grows to be very sizeable and yields a large amount of usable lumber and veneer for plywood. It is an incredibly valuable commercial timber, widely used in construction and building purposes. It is among the hardest and heaviest softwoods.
