Luxury Live Edge Pippy Oak Coffee Table – Handcrafted in the UK by Sam Sorrell

Please note: The images shown are of the raw, unfinished oak slab. By purchasing this item, you are securing a handcrafted coffee table currently in progress. The price includes all finishing and preparation work to transform this rare slab into a beautifully finished, high-quality table. The final result will highlight the stunning grain, scattered pips, and organic live edge — a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture.

Introduce natural warmth and artisan craftsmanship into your living space with this handcrafted live edge Pippy Oak coffee table, made in our Wickford, Essex workshop by furniture maker Sam Sorrell. Crafted from a single slab of sustainably sourced English Pippy Oak, this tabletop showcases the wood’s wild grain, rich character, and unique pips that give this timber its name.

Unlike mass-produced furniture, this coffee table is made entirely by hand — using no robotic machinery — allowing the natural beauty and individuality of the wood to shine. The live edge follows the original contours of the tree, creating a flowing, organic silhouette that sets this piece apart from ordinary tables.

Measuring 1.1 metres in length and 60cm in width, it’s the ideal size for use in living rooms, lounges, and reading nooks — a timeless centrepiece with a strong presence in a compact footprint.

Wood Species:
Pippy Poplar (also known as Mappa Burr)

Leg Style:
Box Hairpin Legs (We can provide alternative legs, just ask!)

Finishing Details:
Live Edge both sides, finished to a high gloss finish.  Natural knots and pips meticulously infused with gold flake epoxy resin.

Product Details:
Hand made from solid Black European Poplar (Mappa Burl) -  a rare and feature-rich wood.

Pippy Poplar (also known as cat’s paw oak) is characterised by clusters of very small knots often caused by cattle nibbling shoots from the trunk of the tree as it grows, causing new shoots to grow and be nibbled off again, and by the ‘epicormic’ nature of Poplar, whereby trees often sprout new buds underneath their bark or after coppicing.

Carefully selected from our wood supplier and fully kiln dried, the wood was cut from a 300 year old Poplar tree.  This table is made from a single slab of premium Pippy Poplar.  We have worked hard to preserve the knots and waney features in this piece, filling any natural crevices with Black resin to provide a beautifully smooth and natural surface.

Buffed and polished to an almost mirror like finish, we use the best oils in the industry to make sure that this table is scratch resistant meaning that the finish will preserve the table for many years while providing a beautifully smooth and almost mirror finish.

Beautifully characterised by a live edge and made from 100% solid Pippy Poplar throughout, this is our best-selling multi-purpose Desk.

Legs:
On this table we have incorporated our box hairpin legs, made from thick box steel. These legs are extremely high quality, powder coated and finished in a really unique style compared to traditional hairpin legs.

We felt that with such a high quality Desk, only the best steel legs would make the grade to compliment it.

Should you require any other style of legs, get in touch and we'd be happy to offer you this table with an alternative leg style.

Is It Real Solid Mappa Burr?

Yes!  Made from the rarest Pippy Poplar, this Rustic Mappa Burr Desk is full of natural character and knots, with contrasting colour tones and Poplar's trademark ripply flowing grain patterns running the full length and thickness of the table.  This table is made from a single slab of solid wood.

We as your furniture maker are your guardian angel when it comes to Poplar because of the large variation in quality. Because of our confidence in our timber supplier, we provide you with a solid guarantee on its longevity.  This Desk is built to last for a few lifetimes.

Is It Really Handmade?

Sorrell & Smith hand make all of our products.  This means that no robotic machinery is used at any point in producing our products.  Every single piece that leaves our workshop is a one-off piece which has unique character with the knots and swirls.  Our craftsmen have created this furniture piece in such a way that the natural grain, live edges, and crevices are preserved and then finished to a beautifully smooth surface.  The gold epoxy resin inside the crevices create an absolutely stunning texture across the whole bench.

While many companies pump out “hand built” furniture, put together poorly, from cheap materials, Sorrell & Smith do it differently.  We put obsessive care into every piece that we make, using only the very best materials.  As a result, the end products are show-stopping centrepieces that can set off any living room.

What Is "Live Edge"?

Live edge or natural edge is a style of furniture where our talented craftsmen incorporate the natural edge of the wood into the design of the piece. There are special challenges involved in creating this type of piece, and Sorrell & Smith have finessed the perfect method for bringing out the natural character of the wood while leaving an impeccably luxurious finish.
