Discover the epitome of natural elegance and craftsmanship with our Live Edge Bench, a stunning piece that captures the raw beauty of American walnut. Sourced from a local Michigan dealer, this exquisite walnut slab has been transformed through a meticulous process to create a bench that's not just a seat, but a statement piece for your home.
The journey of this slab from tree to bench is marked by dedication and skill. After being cut and kilned, the slab was precisely planed and sent through a wide belt sander to achieve a flawless level surface and the ideal thickness. This is followed by an extensive finishing process involving four stages of orbital and hand sanding, culminating in a fine 400-grit smoothness. A matte lacquer spray is then applied, enhancing the wood's natural grain and providing a durable finish that celebrates the slab's unique character.
Further attention to detail is evident in the bench's construction. Threaded inserts are drilled into the bottom of the slab, ensuring that the screws attaching the legs can be removed or added without risk of stripping, reflecting a commitment to both aesthetics and longevity.
The bench's dimensions – 81” in length, 20” in width, and 24” in height, with a substantial 1 1/2” thick slab – make it an imposing yet graceful addition to any space. The legs are crafted from steel and finished with a sleek black powder coating, offering a modern contrast to the natural warmth of the walnut.
This Live Edge Bench is more than a piece of furniture; it's a celebration of nature's artistry, enhanced through skilled craftsmanship. It's an investment in timeless design and quality that will enrich your space for years to come.
