Live Edge Redwood Conference Table
Commissioned by a local Santa Barbara tech firm, this 14-foot table was crafted from a single reclaimed redwood slab. The project aimed to create a stunning centerpiece that fostered collaboration and reflected the company's California roots.
Material Story
The redwood was sourced from a fallen tree in Northern California, preserving its natural live edge. A custom steel substructure provides stability while allowing the wood's organic form to take center stage.
Finishing Process
A hand-rubbed oil finish was applied in multiple layers to enhance the grain and provide a durable, satin surface suitable for daily use, while protecting the wood's natural character.
