Custom Live Edge Wood Products

Wood comes to us in logs, from there we do absolutely every step to assure you are receiving top quality slabs. Keeping all these steps in-house is how we're able to provide such low prices! These are the steps involved-

We use our industrial saw mill to slice up the log into the slabs we want. This is where we decide how thick each slab will be, and the orientation of the cuts!

The wood slabs must then be dried to a 10%  moisture level before we can begin working on them. This is done by air-drying for a few months, then kiln dried. With our new on-site kiln, we're able to keep these costs down, allowing for better prices for you! 

It's nearly impossible for a piece of wood to come out of the kiln perfectly flat. As moisture leaves the wood, it warps and bends in whatever direction it would like. This is when we use a flattening router sled to completely remove any warps.

Once the slab is flattened, it's good to go through our industrial planer. This takes the flattened sides as a reference and really smoothens it out to a level we can start sanding. 

Now that we're dealing with flat, smooth(ish) pieces of wood, we can make any cuts necessary for your project. Sometimes this is a 45 degree angle to join two pieces on a corner, sometimes it's just a straight cut so the piece sits against a wall better. Every project is different, and we have the tools for all of them! 

Using our array of Festool sanding equipment, we can make that rough piece of wood feel like glass.

From here you can select the type of finish you'd prefer! Oil based finishes are most common, but we do love a good epoxy finish. It's entirely your preference!
