Common Uses
Maple Live Edge Lumber is used for dining tables, coffee tables, desk tops, kitchen islands, countertops, floating shelves, mantels, headboards, and any furniture or interior application where a natural, organic wood statement is the design intent. The live edge and natural figure of maple make each piece a functional work of art.
Pro Tips
- Select your slab in person at the Windsor Plywood branch where possible. Live edge slabs vary significantly in shape, width, and character -- what is available changes as new stock arrives.
- Allow live edge slabs to acclimate in your space for several days before working or installing. Large solid slabs can move significantly with changes in humidity.
- Fill any cracks, voids, or bark inclusions with clear or tinted epoxy before finishing. This stabilises the slab and produces a clean finished surface while preserving the natural character of the live edge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is each slab truly unique?
Yes. Every live edge slab retains the natural profile of the tree it came from. No two pieces are identical in shape, width, grain, or figure. Visit your local Windsor Plywood location to select your piece in person.
How do I finish a live edge slab?
Hardwax oils such as Rubio Monocoat or Osmo Polyx enhance the natural grain and colour of maple without adding a plastic film. For high-use surfaces like countertops, epoxy resin topcoats provide maximum durability.
Can I get a slab cut to a custom size?
Confirm cutting options with your local Windsor Plywood location. Availability of custom cutting services varies by branch.
What is epoxy used for on live edge slabs?
Epoxy is used to fill cracks, voids, and live edge bark inclusions. It can be clear or tinted to complement the wood colour. EcoPoxy products are available at Windsor Plywood for live edge finishing applications.
