About The Wooden Nickel - Custom Live Edge Furniture
Based in Arab, Alabama, The Wooden Nickel builds custom live edge furniture from locally sourced hardwood slabs. The company's founding year and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed; it operates as a shop where each piece begins with a slab selected for its natural character. The shop produces dining tables, desks, adjustable workstations, and contract-grade furniture for commercial spaces. The process is deliberately slow: logs from tree services and loggers are kiln-dried and stabilized, then flattened, sanded, and inspected for cracks or knots that may receive resin filling. Finishes are applied in multiple hand-rubbed coats, and steel bases—fabricated from high-tolerance steel—are fitted to ensure level, wobble-free assembly. The company notes that most production is custom, ranging from single items to larger commercial orders. Customers include residential clients such as a Marshall County family that commissioned a three-generation dining table, as well as local businesses needing tables and work surfaces for offices, break rooms, and public areas. The firm has supplied several area companies with thicker slabs, reinforced bases, and durable finishes designed for daily wear. The Wooden Nickel emphasizes careful material selection, honest construction, and an unhurried timeline. As the owners describe it, the goal is furniture that 'doesn't draw attention to itself' but 'just keeps working year after year'—built to be used, built to last, and built for real life.
