Live Edge Bar Tops for Every Space
A live edge bar top can bring beauty, class and enjoyment to your home. Our designs add personal, distinctive design elements to basement bars, man caves, kitchen islands, and other entertainment areas.
Premier bar tops also add warmth and wow factor to restaurants, bars, and breweries. Lancaster Live Edge specializes in supplying custom slab bar tops built for your layout. That includes straight runs, L-shaped corner bars, U-shaped designs, and island-style bar tops. While our primary focus is on supplying the wood slab itself, we can also provide metal bases or support structures if your project requires them.
What Sets a Live Edge Bar Top Apart?
Live edge wood means the tree's natural contour is preserved instead of cutting the edges straight. The natural edge is what makes each wood bar top one-of-a-kind. Its unique character shows up in the grain pattern, knots, and natural cracks.
Natural wood also adds warmth and flow to a space. Combining live edge wood with metal, tile, and concrete elements softens hard lines, making bars feel more inviting.
Popular Types of Wood Slab Bar Tops
We offer a range of live edge wood slabs, including:
- Walnut: Walnut wood is a favorite for bar tops because of its rich, dark color and striking grain. This durable wood looks refined and upscale, making it a strong choice for restaurants.
- Maple and sycamore: Lighter woods like maple and sycamore offer a clean, modern look. Their subtle grain complements contemporary spaces or areas where you want to feel spacious and open.
- Poplar and cherry: Woods with warmer tones and distinctive knots suit relaxed, rustic environments. A poplar or cherry bar would enhance the interior of a cosy pub or home lounge.
Bars Built to Last
Bar tops need to work hard. If your bar will see heavy traffic, it's important to consider durability and finish when selecting the wood type. Lancaster Live Edge offers finishes designed to handle Friday night traffic. Options include hardwax oil for a natural feel, stains to adjust tone, and polyurethane for maximum protection.
Epoxy Bartops
Epoxy plays two important roles bar tops. First, it can be used to fill natural voids, cracks, and knots in the slab. This finish creates a smooth, level surface that's easy to clean and comfortable for daily use — no trapped crumbs, moisture, or spills.
Epoxy can also be used decoratively in a river-style design, where it flows between two live edge slabs. The epoxy still forms a sealed, durable surface with the added bold design element. Expertly applied epoxy protects the wood without detracting from its natural aesthetic.
Live Edge Bar Top Pricing
Custom live edge bartops typically run between $1000-$6000. This will vary based on a few different factors, including:
- Species of wood
- Size
- Finish
- Amount of epoxy
- If delivery and install is needed
- Base (if we supply it)
The biggest variant in price will be size and species. Walnut bar tops are the most expensive and pin oak is the cheapest. All of our slabs are priced by the board foot, so pricing will also vary based on the size of your bar. The next biggest variant will be the amount of epoxy needed. Epoxy bar tops will be more expensive than bar tops just featuring a live edge.
