Live edge Meaford stools

Share This Post

I continue to explore the possibilities of combining unparalleled comfort and durability with the appeal of live edge furniture, creating stunning live edge Meaford stools that easily complement and enhance the other live edge furniture in your home. By selecting slabs with exceptional character in terms of grain, knots, colour, spalting, and deformities, I do not hesitate to use a mixture of clear and coloured acrylic epoxy to increase the wood’s inherent beauty and structural strength, producing unique pieces that you will find nowhere else.  The legs for these stools are typically ebonized or clear ash, contrasting or complementing the seat wood. Unlike stains, the ebonizing process transforms the natural colour of the ash so that, instead of resting on the surface, it is deep within the fibers of the wood. This ensures the colour will not simply and quickly wear off with use… and you will want o use these stools daily!

Like all my stools, these live edge stools can be ordered directly from me or through one of a number of fine art galleries across Ontario. I encourage you to visit your favourite local gallery and, if they do not carry my stools, encourage them to contact me to discuss bringing one or more in for you to try.
