Furniture Oak Desk Live Edge
2022
FurnitureElevate your studio workspace with this stunning red oak live edge desk, a true showcase of natural artistry. The surface bursts with character — flowing grain patterns highlighted by spalting, knots, and distinctive medullary rays that shimmer in the light, adding depth and dimension to the wood's warm tones.
Cracks at both ends of the slab, formed as the wood dried, speak to the internal stresses caused by branch growth. These features aren't flaws — they are the stories of two branches that grew year after year until they were finally overgrown and buried deep in the heart of the tree. The live edge preserves the tree's original contours, giving you a three dimensional slice of the life of a tree.
Sized perfectly for a small office or creative nook, this desk offers not just function but inspiration — a daily reminder of nature's rugged beauty and enduring strength.
NOTES: this was my desk for a few years during COVID so it has a few surface scuffs, but is otherwise in amazing condition. Legs are sold separately, but I can add a set for you or even make it into a standing desk. BONUS! It also comes with two custom oak shelves that held my studio monitors (easily worth $150.00). They mount under the desk so they don't take up any valuable real estate.
