Q: What does 'live edge' mean on a wood plaque?
It means a live edge plaque keeps the natural bark-covered edge of the log intact rather than trimming it into a uniform curve, so the outline follows the tree's actual shape.
Live-Edge Oval Basswood Plaques
These oval plaques require minimal prep work for typical applications. They are live-edge pieces (which include the natural bark) cut from a single block of wood.
Sizes listed are width by height (measurements are approximate).
Thicknesses are a nominal 11/16" except the 2 1/4" × 3 1/2" plaque, which is 1/2" thick and has a through-hole and a string for hanging.
A rectangular style is also available.

Several oval sizes are available, along with a rectangular style, and thickness runs a nominal 11/16" except for the smallest oval, which is thinner and comes pre-drilled for hanging.
Not necessarily; they're already prepared to need only minimal prep work for typical uses like carving, painting or engraving.
Yes, Lee Valley also offers a profiled-edge basswood plaque as an alternative to the live-edge oval and rectangular styles, for a more finished, uniform border.
