The Secret Behind Our Solid Live Edge Tabletops: 4–6 Pieces, Perfectly Joined

A stunning tabletop isn’t just about the wood species or the finish — it’s also about how the boards come together. At TableCo, our solid live edge tabletops are crafted from 4–6 carefully selected pieces of solid wood, expertly joined to create a wide, seamless surface that is both beautiful and durable.

Joining multiple boards is essential for stability. Wood naturally expands and contracts with changes in temperature and humidity, and proper joinery ensures your tabletop remains flat and strong for decades. Whether it’s black walnut, oak, beech, or reclaimed elm, every TableCo tabletop is designed to balance structural integrity with aesthetic appeal.

Our process starts with the precise alignment of the boards. Each piece is glued together using high-quality adhesives that are strong yet flexible, accommodating the natural movement of wood without compromising the bond. For live edge designs, careful clamping and drying techniques ensure the slabs stay perfectly flat and resistant to bowing or twisting over time.

Finally, our finishing process complements the joinery. Protective coatings, including oil-based polyurethane or epoxy, shield the wood from moisture and daily wear, locking in stability and preserving the tabletop’s beauty for years.

When you choose a TableCo live edge tabletop, you’re choosing more than just a piece of wood. You’re investing in careful craftsmanship, engineered joinery, and timeless design — all coming together in 4–6 solid pieces to create a surface that is as strong as it is stunning.
