The Buckboard Rustic Sofa Table

September 8, 2020 by Kelly Maxwell

Rustic live edge table

This rustic sofa table design reminds me of an old buck broad seat, hence “The Buckboard.” In other words, a functional table with a simple, understated design. Hand-forged steel legs add to the authentic rustic table design. Heated and hammered into shape, then hand riveted and banded for structural stability. Also, the table-top and stringer is Pennsylvania cherry with the natural live edge intact.

The marriage of steel and live edge wood. The balance of elegance and ruggedness adds natural rustic charm to any decor.

Simplicity is the name of the game in rustic furniture design, making this sofa table a great example. For instance, a simple 1.75″ thick live edge wood slab finds use as the tabletop, contrasting the lighter sapwood live edge against the natural. Cherry wood color tones.

Live edge cherry wood slab features a soft quilted or curly wood grain pattern.

This functional table is 61″ long, 19″ at its deepest point and 29″ tall. Handmade from ethically sourced live-edge wood slabs paired with hand-forged steel legs. Thus, reminiscent of old-world furniture, which lends to artistic flair and functionality.
