What Are Live Edge Desks?
Live edge desks or natural edge desks are a style of furniture where the designers and craftsmen at CVCF incorporate the natural edge of wood slabs into the design of the desk. Live edge desks made by Chagrin Valley Custom Furniture are pieces of furniture with one or more flat table-style work surfaces.

Pictured on this page is a custom made L-Shaped Home Office Desk that CVCF handcrafted using maple wood and epoxy resin. It was manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio and shipped to a customer in Denver, Colorado. It includes a sliding drawer below the desktop and a monitor stand. CVCF also custom made the steel base that supports the L-Shaped Live Edge Desk. High quality L-Shaped Live Edge Desks like the one pictured here range in price from $6,000 to $7,000. In 2020, CVCF perfected the art of making custom tables with epoxy inlays, CNC river tables, ‘Ocean Tables‘, CNC machined river tables with epoxy resin and ‘Canyon River Tables‘.
CVCF builds live edge desks, live edge dining and conference tables using 2″ thick black walnut slabs. Black walnut wood is a very hard strong and straight dark brown wood that is shock resistant. Black walnut timber is popular because the fine-grained heartwood is excellent for making fine furniture. Cambia wood, (thermally modified to increase durability) is another dark wood that CVCF uses to make custom live edge conference tables. CVCF uses black walnut and cambia wood (poplar and red oak) to craft handmade live edge conference tables that can be 10′, 11′, 12′, 16′ or 32′ in length. A common width for a black walnut conference table is 4′.
The Japanese-American architect George Nakashima, winner of the Institute of Architects’ Gold Craftsmanship Medal, favored black walnut slabs and used the natural edges of the wood as part of his finished pieces of furniture to emphasize and celebrate nature’s imperfections.

Information On River Tables And Epoxy Resin From Chagrin Valley Custom Furniture
-
How Much Does A River Table Cost?
Small river tables range from $800 – $4,000, and larger river tables range from $1,800 – $6,500.
-
How Thick Should A River Table Be?
CVCF frequently uses wood slabs that are 2″ thick to custom build sturdy river tables for customers that order locally and online in the U.S. After sanding, these 2″ thick slabs end up being about 1 3/4″ thick.
-
Are River Tables Strong?
Well built epoxy resin river tables made by CVCF with sturdy natural live edge hardwood slabs are extremely durable and can seat 8, 10, 12 or more people. The surfaces of river table tops made by CVCF, are beautiful, strong and virtually impenetrable. The custom metal river table legs and bases handcrafted by CVCF will last for generations without maintenance.
-
Why Is Epoxy So Expensive?
The epoxy resins used by CVCF river table builders to coat river table tops are more expensive than casting (polyester or liquid synthetic) resins which are used for molds, figurines, industrial prototypes, jewelry and crafts. Casting resins cost less than clear epoxy resins but CVCF normally uses more expensive epoxy resins to build the highest quality handcrafted and custom designed river tables, due to their strength.

Custom Epoxy Resin River Colors and Effects For Live Edge Desk
At CVCF, we make our own colored epoxy resin for the live edge desks we create. We have put years of research into the art of creating these beautiful features that are either poured between two live edge solid wood slabs, or poured into cracks and openings in the natural wood slab. Custom epoxy resin colors are often based on our customer’s own color preferences. You can also choose from the colors below. You can send us a photo or drawing of a color and effect you want us to reproduce, including LED lighting. Then tell us what kind of tabletop wood you want. Add some flair to your furniture with an epoxy resin river!
Desktop Wood
CVCF only makes live edge desks out of solid wood slabs—generally with the live edge included. The woods below are the ones we find make the best river tables. A dark river with light wood is awesome. A light river with dark wood is even more awesome. You can’t go wrong! Our customers can pick out the exact slab they want when we take them into our wood warehouse or supplier’s lumberyard via video technology. Our workshop is in the Chagrin Valley of Ohio, an area that supports the growth of hundreds of wood species on sustainable farms.
Custom Metal And Wood Table Legs & Bases For Live Edge Desks
At CVCF, we make our own custom metal legs, often based on our customer’s own table leg concepts. Get inspired by some of our designs, or order one you see below. You can send us a photo or drawing of a leg you want us to reproduce. Then tell us what kind of tabletop you want. At CVCF, we cover all the bases (and legs)!
Custom Embedded Items, Logos And Engravings For Live Edge Desks
Chagrin Valley Custom Furniture has become more creative in our execution of epoxy live edge desk designs by adding decorative elements in the resin before it cures. Taking the “river” concept to its logical conclusion, our builders can make tables embedded with smooth stones, rocks, shells, crystals and more that line the bottom of the resin, adding a premium rustic, outdoorsy flair to an already stunning concept.
