Live Oaks symbolize strength and vitality as their wood is incredibly tough and durable.
The name Live Oaks came from the fact that they remain green and "alive" throughout the winter when other oak trees are dormant and leafless. The naval vessel U.S.S. Constitution was nicknamed “Old Ironsides” after her live oak hull survived repeated cannon fire during the War of 1812. The cannon balls fired from the British war ships would bounce off the tough live oak hull.

Ebonizing wood is an old-world technique that was used to preserve the grain of the wood. The classic method to darken the wood is based on a chemical reaction between iron acetate and the natural wood tannins which produces a dark stain. A more modern technique to “ebonize” is to use India Ink to completely dye the grain a deep, rich black.

Live-edge defines the unfinished edge of the woodwork. It is the periphery of wood not altered by hand tools or woodworking machinery. As a result, the untouched ends retain the original characteristics of a tree; its shape, texture, and sometimes even its bark.
