7 Live Edge Gift Ideas

Live Edge Charcuterie Boards

There’s no way to really go wrong with a live edge Charcuterie board gift in 2021. The charcuterie board trend is the here and now! They’re not just for cold cuts and pickled delicacies anymore, either. 


The charcuterie board experience is charting new territory this year serving everything from sweet and salty snack mixes to becoming a taco bar for two.

Live Edge Soaker Tub Trays

Think charcuterie board, but instead of finger foods, live edge soaker tub trays are a mini bar of self-care necessities for well-deserved “me” time. Generally, soaker tub trays must be at least 27” long, a bit on the long side compared to a charcuterie board, for tubs that sit flush to a wall. 


Claw foot or freestanding soaker tubs may be able to accommodate live edge trays 41” or more.

Holiday Live Edge Table Scaping

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and, of course, for many families a good reason to dress up the dining table for friends and family we may only see once a year. Wood tree slices and live edge pieces are a great way to add a designer touch to your family dinner. Try a long, slender live edge piece running down the center of the table with evergreen branches and pinecones, or add an unexpected touch to each table setting by using a tree slice as a charger.

Live Edge Mantels

As the traditional Christmas carols tells us, the mantel and fireplace are often the centerpiece of the Christmas celebration. How can your home ever be complete without a live edge mantel? Nothing feels more traditional than a live edge wood mantel piece.

We can build to fit your desired dimensions in Black Walnut, Soft Maple, or White Oak with your choice of edge cut and sand finish. There’s no extra long lead times when you work with The Lumber Shack. We build our solid wood tables at our facility in North Central Iowa and are able to ship out custom table tops in 2-3 weeks. All of our wood is locally and sustainably sourced from the Midwest region and made in the USA, right here in Iowa.
