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: www.woodslabs.com/default.aspx

    A nice short video. Thank you. I made my table almost the same way. I used a PU coating and made heavy wooden cross legs.

    Very cool!! I have made lots of slab furniture in the past and could have used a company like this!! One thing I would suggest from being in the industry is that they offer some sort of cross member that can be bolted between the two legs for racking strength. Not sure aesthetically how you would do this though.
