The Beauty of Live Edge Design in Natural Wood Console Tables
Live edge design has become increasingly popular in recent years for natural wood furniture, including console tables. This unique style showcases the natural edge of the wood slab, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind look that can’t be replicated. Many think that this is relatively new design style, but the reality is live edge has been around since the beginning of furniture making.

The Art of Joinery: Crafting Custom Furniture by Hand
At Dovetails and Stiches we believe that using traditional joinery techniques is essential to creating natural wood console tables that will last for generations. Every piece we make is constructed using techniques such as mortise and tenon joints, dovetail joints, and breadboard ends. These techniques not only create a strong and stable piece of furniture, but they also add to the overall beauty of the piece. The precision and skill required to create these joints by hand is what sets our furniture apart from mass-produced pieces. When you invest in one of our handmade console tables, you can rest assured that you are getting a piece of furniture that has been crafted with care and attention to detail.

Console tables can be made from a variety of natural woods, including walnut, mahogany, cherry, white oak, red oak, hard maple, spalted maple, ash, alder, pecan, hickory, cypress, and sapele, among others.
