Custom Live Edge Furniture For Sale
CVCF builds live edge furniture, 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.

The Process
When creating a river table, a clear epoxy resin is poured into a rectangular or custom mold with the target live edge slabs in place. Additional resin mixed with the chosen color or colors is then added to meet the specifications of the project, and then any other objects are set – such as gold flakes or crystals. Between pours, the epoxy is stirred within the form to prevent any settling of color or the creation of bubbles.
Then we let the epoxy cure and harden and remove the mold. Next, we sand down any imperfections. The wood is finally sprayed or finished with the desired top coating for durability, aesthetics, and/or longevity.
Non-Tabletop Furniture With Epoxy Resin “River” Designs
We also sell types of furniture with epoxy resin designs that utilize live edge wood, but are not to be used as a tabletop or to attach a steel base. Seen below, we built this live edge headboard for a client looking for a matching frame and end tables with our signature blue river design. Any kind of luxury, live edge or rustic furniture with a natural edge can be fitted into a mold and poured with the color of epoxy resin you’re looking for. This can include live edge headboards, chairs, benches, cabinets, buffets, cabinet doors, display cases, entertainment centers, mantels, shelves and more. Seen below are two examples of a live edge walnut headboard and bedroom set, as well as a live edge walnut bench with epoxy resin poured and cured in the final product. You can contract pieces like these from anywhere in the United States through our customer service-oriented remote design process. Start by contacting us.
River Table Prices
Pricing a river table design varies widely, depending on wood type, size, the chosen legs/base, and the overall complexity of the project. River tables can be made for tables of any purpose, including coffee tables, side tables, dining room tables, and conference room tables.
So Who Invented The River Table?
From time to time, the river table builders at CVCV get asked, “Who invented the river table?” Although the talented Washington-based artist and furniture-maker, Greg Klassen trademarked the word “River” in regards to furniture design, he certainly did not invent the river table or the use of epoxy resin in artistic furniture or the concept of resin casting. Epoxy, and thermosetting resins, first became a household word in the 1960s, when a new breed of super-strong adhesives started to appear in local hardware stores. Its extensive use dates back as far as the 1940s.
Natural resins have been used since as early as the days of ancient Egypt, and more extensively in the 1200’s AD by the Mongols. The Mongols invented the world’s first composite (made of multiple components) bow, which were bound together with natural pine resin. Many historians suggest that these were the most formidable weapons in the world until firearms emerged a couple centuries later. It was also a long-time material for ship-builders, as it was an excellent sealant and waterproofing agent on wooden vessels.
Epoxy resin, mixed with pigment, may be used as a painting medium, by pouring layers on top of each other to form a complete picture. It is also used in jewelry, as a doming resin for decorations and labels, and in decoupage type applications for art, wood countertops, and custom river tables handcrafted by CVCF.
Over, seventy-five years ago, in a small lab in Louisville, Kentucky, Dr. Sylvan O. Greenlee invented a material that may have seemed ordinary to most, but he knew that he had just discovered a material that would enable the future. That landmark discovery was liquid epoxy resin.
Learn More About Epoxy Resins From Wikipedia
Epoxy is either any of the basic components or the cured end products of epoxy resins, as well as a colloquial name for the epoxide functional group. Epoxy resins, also known as polyepoxides, are a class of reactive prepolymers and polymers which contain epoxide groups. Condensation of epoxides and amines was first reported and patented by Paul Schlack of Germany in 1934. Claims of discovery of bisphenol-A-based epoxy resins include Pierre Castan in 1943. Castan’s work was licensed by Ciba, Ltd. of Switzerland, which went on to become one of the three major epoxy resin producers worldwide. Ciba’s epoxy business was spun off as Vantico in the late 1990s, which was subsequently sold in 2003 and became the Advanced Materials business unit of Huntsman Corporation of the United States. In 1946, Sylvan Greenlee, working for the Devoe & Raynolds Company, patented resin derived from bisphenol-A and epichlorohydrin. Devoe & Raynolds, which was active in the early days of the epoxy resin industry, was sold to Shell Chemical; the division involved in this work was eventually sold, and via a series of other corporate transactions is now part of Hexion Inc.
Epoxy adhesives are a major part of the class of adhesives called “structural adhesives” or “engineering adhesives” (that includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and other chemistries.) These high-performance adhesives are used in the construction of aircraft, automobiles, bicycles, boats, golf clubs, skis, snowboards, and other applications where high strength bonds are required. Epoxy adhesives can be developed to suit almost any application. They can be used as adhesives for wood, metal, glass, stone, and some plastics. They can be made flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque/colored, fast setting or slow setting. Epoxy adhesives are better in heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. In general, epoxy adhesives cured with heat will be more heat- and chemical-resistant than those cured at room temperature. The strength of epoxy adhesives is degraded at temperatures above 350 °F (177 °C).
