Live Edge Woodcrafts

Imperfections like cracks and broken knots are filled with turquoise chips and sanded, which is my creative signature. Custom orders also available through Tom Conter. Custom tables will be handcrafted to meet your desires from a choice of seven different hardwoods, either metal or wood legs,painted or unpainted, and with inlay gemstones or the natural, distressed look. About Tom Conter, the Artis

t:
“I have been a woodworker all of my life, even during my active 35-year business manager and consultant phase. I made my earliest furniture starting in 1973 because my wife and I needed furnishings in our early married life. I discovered live edge or natural edge woods about two years ago, and I have been hooked ever since. This style incorporates the natural edge of the wood into the design of the piece making each one unique. All of the woods have been responsibly harvested along the Colorado Front Range from dead or dying old growth. Some pieces incorporate gem stone inlay to repair damaged knots or to fill cracks, while others display these imperfections in a “distressed” look and feel. Each piece undergoes ten to fifteen crafting steps to complete the unique look and feel of natural edge tables and other furnishings.”
