This live-edge coffee bar started as a raw slab with loads of character, and it was one of those pieces you know is going to be special once it’s cleaned up.

After milling and flattening the timber, we took our time working through the sanding stages to really bring the grain to life and keep the natural flow of the live edge front and centre.

The finished design features bold waterfall legs on both sides, giving it that solid, sculptural look while keeping everything clean and minimal.

The grain wraps beautifully from the top down the sides, making the whole piece feel seamless and intentional.

Finished in a hardwax oil for a natural, durable feel — it’s the perfect statement piece for morning coffees, entertaining, or just making a blank wall feel like it has purpose.
