Our experience
Built to Last
Responsibly Sourced Wood Slabs
Our wood is sourced from local recycled logs that would ordinarily be turned into firewood or mulch. These are the logs that aren’t as good for dimensional lumber. They are not simply cut down for their wood, but are trees that have been removed because they were either already down, or in danger of falling. We take the wood that most mills aren’t interested in and use an 8′ wide bandsaw mill to make the products you can see here. We also have a 36″ production mill for our dimensional products.
Small Live Edge Wood Slabs
This is for pieces under 6′ long, made of domestic wood. This usually excludes black walnut, or any other piece that is so pretty that it deserves better.
Price Range: $280 – $500+
Medium Live Edge Wood Slabs
This is for pieces 8′ long This may exclude certain woods, but only if they are one of a kind pieces. For the most part, if its under 8′ it fits here.
Price Range: $500 – $800+
Large Live Edge Wood Slabs
This is for pieces over 8′ long, and can include just about anything. Usually at this length the width is at least 3′. Although for bartops we will cut long logs at 25″ in diameter.
Price Range: $800+
why choose us
real relationships. real furniture.
When we are at shows, people ask us how long it takes to make these tables. It’s a tough question to answer, because it depends on when you want to start the stopwatch. We get these logs from firewood facilities that allow us to pick pieces we think will be interesting, it’s a pain stacking process to find the perfect tree trunk. Once we find our selections, we then have to truck them to our shop. After that we need to mill it, depending on the size of the tree, it usually takes a full day. Following, we then air dry it for up to a year before we can bring it to the kiln.
Following the air drying, we then send it to our idry vacuum kiln. The wood slabs spend an additional month in the vacuum kiln drying out any additional moisture from the wood. Once finished drying, we ship it back to our shop to start the finishing process. At that point each slab takes roughly a week of work to get it finished and ready to be put into your home. That amount of time helps develop relationships, between the wood and ourselves, and between you, our client, and the piece we are making for you. Our process begins with a search and ends with a beautiful table or bar in your home.
