From Forest to Furniture: The Art of Live Edge Slabs

Len Wasik

From local logs to luxury furniture: exploring our premium live edge slab collection and custom possibilities.

At Refined Rustic Furniture, we believe every tree has a story to tell. Through our in-house sawmill and careful processing, we transform local and exotic logs into stunning slabs that become tomorrow's heirloom furniture.

Our Process

From Log to Slab

Our journey begins with carefully selected logs, many locally salvaged, which we process through our specialized sawmill. Each log is thoughtfully:

  • Cut into 2-3" thick slabs

  • Capable of spans up to 22 feet long

  • Processed to maximize usable material

  • Sustainably handled with zero waste
