What sets our Live Edge Slabs apart?

Our live edge slabs are sawn from large diameter logs that we sustainably harvest from within a 100-mile radius of our mill.

After sawing, the slabs are placed on stickers at very close intervals and stored in one of our covered buildings to begin the slow and controlled air-drying process. This process typically takes 2-4 years depending on the thickness of the material. After air drying, slabs are placed in one of our 3 computer-controlled kilns and carefully dried down to a moisture content of 6-8%.

After kiln drying, we first accurately flatten one face of the slab and then flip it over and plane the slab to a consistent thickness. This step is performed with our custom-made, 100” wide jointer/planer. Our planer leaves a surface finish that allows you to start hand sanding with 120 grit.

After flattening and planing, slabs are kept in humidity-controlled buildings to maintain the desired moisture content of 6-8%, which is ideal for interior applications throughout the country.

This process is not the fastest, and it is not the cheapest, but it has proven to produce the highest quality live edge slabs available on the market. We are confident enough in our process that we guarantee that our slabs are truly dry, flat, planed to a consistent thickness, and insect free.
