Reading the slab

One slab of English Elm

Unlike most tables, which are made from multiple planks or bookmatched boards, this tabletop is one continuous slab. Tap the markers to see the details.

Why it matters

Why a single slab is so rare

Unlike a tabletop assembled from numerous narrow boards, there is nothing interrupting the grain across its width. It is this combination of scale, uninterrupted grain and natural live edges that makes a genuine single-slab table such a statement piece.

A typical solid-wood topNarrow boards glued edge to edge. Each glue line breaks the grain and the pattern repeats board to board.
This tabletopOne slab. The grain flows continuously across the entire top, with the live edges and sapwood intact.
Made to fit. Fitted by us.

We don't send a tabletop and a box of legs.

Once you've chosen your base, we fabricate it specifically around this individual tabletop, optimising its dimensions and position for stability, legroom and the proportions of the finished table.

Description

About this tabletop

One Slab of English Elm

In stock now, this is the exact tabletop you will receive.

Handcrafted in our Essex workshop from a single, hand-selected slab of English Elm, sustainably felled in England, this 2.1 metre dining tabletop is not made from multiple planks or bookmatched boards. Based on its dimensions, the tree is estimated to have been well over 150 years old. Formed from just one continuous slab, it is not only rare but also highly desirable to collectors and discerning buyers alike.

The tabletop has been buffed and polished to a smooth, natural finish and coated with hardwax oils for durability and grain definition, with the natural live edge preserved. Discreet steel reinforcement bars on the underside allow for natural seasonal movement while preventing warping. This traditional-meets-modern method ensures the tabletop stays perfectly flat and stable, so this rare slab lasts for generations.

At 2.1 metres long and approximately 1.1 metres wide, it seats 6 people comfortably, or 8 with one at each end: perfect for family gatherings or as a statement dining table.

Tabletop Only, Choose Your Own Base

This listing is for the tabletop only, allowing you to pair it with any suitable steel leg or pedestal base design from our collection.

The important difference is that we don't simply send you a tabletop and a separate box of legs.

Once you've chosen your base, we fabricate it specifically around this individual tabletop, optimising its dimensions and position for stability, legroom and the proportions of the finished table. We then professionally fit the base to the tabletop in our Essex workshop before delivery.

When your table arrives, the mounting points are already prepared and everything has been test fitted, making final assembly straightforward.

A Genuine One-Off Tabletop

Every mark, grain pattern, natural edge and variation belongs to this individual tree. Unlike a tabletop assembled from numerous narrow boards, there is nothing interrupting the grain across its width.

Handcrafted in Essex

The tabletop is prepared and finished by hand in our Essex workshop by Sam Sorrell and our team, with no mass production and no robotic machinery.

Choose from our range of bespoke steel legs and pedestal bases, including X-frame, trapezium and statement pedestal designs. Our steel bases are fabricated specifically to suit the proportions and weight of your chosen tabletop and can be powder coated in matt black or a colour of your choice.

What Is Live Edge?

Live edge design preserves the natural contours of the tree, ensuring no two tables are alike. This slab's edges tell the story of its growth, giving your table a unique, organic flow that no machine-made piece could ever replicate.

Every tabletop is backed by our quality guarantee and aftercare service. This is more than furniture: it's a once-in-a-lifetime piece of English timber history, handcrafted into a dining table built to last for generations.
