Announcement
Welcome to Kentucky LiveEdge! I'm Drew Gahafer, a full-time artisan, woodworker & furniture designer. My "work day," consists of making sawdust, debarking slabs, prepping reclaimed wood, painting, grinding metal, clear coating, finish sanding, flattening slabs, home-brewing wood finishes, concentrating on age old finishing applications by hand and making unique and functional home goods out of the most beautiful hardwoods available. All lumber used is responsibly sourced from urban or rural reclaimed logs. While most of the lumber used is locally sourced, I will occasionally acquire unique wood or logs from sawyer friends outside of Kentucky. I only work with domestic hardwood species and reclaimed regional woods (bourbon barrels). The legs or bases used in my builds are often reclaimed or upcycled, but custom fabrication is also an option for specific builds. I live by the philosophy, "Waste not, want not," and do my best to create cool furniture with the materials I have in stock. I'm always open to custom requests and have a strong interest in understanding what YOU want for your home or business.

5 out of 5 starsI had mentioned that I was making hiking sticks out of this item and the seller reached out to make sure what I ordered would work for the project. The sticks came quickly and was of the quality I expected. The wood was hard enough for me to drill into the narrow end to add carbide tips and, although I rounded the edges to soften them, the flat sides made it easy to burn in the names of the many trails my sister had recently tackled. Many thanks!

Custom and personalized orders
For commissioned builds/ custom orders, we never charge packaging/shipping costs up front. It is impossible to obtain an accurate packaging/shipping quote without having the finished packaged dimensions and weight. Once your build is complete, you'll be notified of completion and sent photographs of the build. It will be handed over to my local and professional packaging partner. They will contact you either by telephone or email to make delivery arrangements. Their packaging/ shipping services can be paid either over the phone or by digital means (emailed invoice). My shipping partner is top notch and the only professional that I trust in making sure my work arrives at your home or business the same way it leaves my shop.
Care instructions
If not already provided care instructions, please contact me or visit kentuckyliveedge.com for general care instructions.
Drying Checks (cracks)
Drying checks (cracks) are natural features found in solid live edge hardwood slabs. These are not defects, but instead considered character. We do our best to negate drying checks, but they happen (usually during drying process). We make every attempt to note if certain pieces have drying checks, if left natural, filled with a tinted resin, etc., but it is the buyers responsibility to view the photographs and inquire with any concerns. At times, new drying checks will occur or expand after being finished and in their new homes. Again, this in no way degrades the structural integrity of the piece nor reflects a negative quality of craftmanship or care taken in the build. To learn more please visit kentuckyliveedge.com.
Can I Buy Raw Wood or Live Edge Slabs from Kentucky LiveEdge?
No. I can cut and finish a piece of wood for you from numerous species, in any desired dimensions, using your choice of several finishing options, but if interested in only purchasing raw materials, you will need to inquire with a commercial sawmill or lumber yard.
Can You Do Engravings?
Unfortunately, we do not offer engraving services.
Do You Offer Planing Services?
No. You will need to contact a commercial carpentry or fabrication shop for wood flattening, planing or molding services.
Refunds/Returns
We do not offer refunds or returns. If there is a problem with your order, please notify us within 24 hours of receipt.
