Bespoke live edge dining table design
Your dining room deserves a table that’s as unique as your family’s stories. This live-edge dining table was custom-made to seat six comfortably while offering room for up to eight on special occasions. It was built in our Surrey workshop from a single slab of London plane timber and combines natural rustic edges with a sleek, modern design. The table’s powder-coated steel legs and jet-black epoxy resin details create a stunning balance between nature and craftsmanship, making it the perfect centrepiece for your home.
A delicate blend of natural wood and modern design
When the client envisioned their ideal dining table, they wanted something that would add warmth and functionality to their dining room. Their vision included two natural waney edges, straight-cut ends, and bold grain features enhanced with a touch of epoxy. By combining these elements with sleek black steel legs, we delivered a table that harmonised perfectly with the room’s colour palette while providing the versatility needed for everyday meals and special occasions.

From concept to creation: the dining table process
Collaborative design
The client envisioned a dining table with live edges, bold grain patterns, and powder-coated steel legs. After reviewing timber and epoxy samples, we finalised a design featuring two waney edges, straight-cut ends, and a single continuous slab. The table’s design blended flawlessly with the dining room palette, enhancing the space's existing style.
Selecting and preparing the timber
We sourced a stunning slab of London plane timber from a local supplier, chosen for its striking grain. Upon discovering woodworm, we treated the timber at the workshop before carefully removing the bark to preserve the organic contours and rustic charm.
Precision craftsmanship
To add character, we filled all rot holes with jet-black epoxy resin, creating a striking contrast against the lighter wood grain. The powder-coated steel legs were fabricated to complement the wood’s natural elegance while ensuring durability.
Flawless finishing
A matte hard wax oil finish was applied to enhance the timber’s grain, creating a tactile 3D effect while protecting the surface for everyday use.
The result: a dining table fit for family gatherings
The client was overjoyed with the finished piece, which fit perfectly into their dining room and enhanced the space's existing design. Its elegant combination of natural wood and modern features has made it a focal point for family meals and gatherings. Impressed by the craftsmanship, the client referred The Wood Cave to new customers, further cementing this table as a showcase of our commitment to excellence.
