A board foot is a unit of wood volume measuring 12” × 12” × 1”. Because live edge slabs vary naturally in width, length, and thickness, pricing by board footage is a more accurate and consistent method than linear or surface measurements. This ensures homeowners, interior designers, builders, and contractors understand the value of the wood based on its true volume and quality.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, our live edge slabs embody a connection to the natural world. Each piece tells a story, allowing you to honor the tree's life and preserve its legacy for future generations. Live edge slabs are unique pieces of wood that preserve the natural edges. They're known for their organic shapes and textures, showcasing the wood's natural beauty, including grain patterns, knots, and imperfections.
At Naples Live Edge Wood, we prioritize sustainability by sourcing live edge slabs exclusively from Florida and other responsibly managed locations. Each supplier undergoes thorough research and verification to ensure ethical practices. Our founder, Ian Orlikoff, an ISA Certified Arborist, brings a deep understanding of each tree's history, interpreting growth rings, grain patterns, and unique features to connect the wood's origin to its new owner.
As a proud partner of #OneTreePlanted, we contribute to reforestation efforts by planting one tree in Florida for every live edge project sold, reinforcing our dedication to environmental stewardship.
