We cut live edge slabs at our mill from local Missouri logs and sell them from the yard. If you're looking for a slab for a table, desk, bench or bar top, tell us the length, width and species you have in mind, and we'll tell you what we have or can cut.
What's on the racks now
Our slab stock changes as logs come in and slabs sell, so ask before you drive out for a specific piece.
If you have your own log, we can saw slabs from it too. See custom sawmilling.
Thicknesses and typical sizes
Slabs are cut thicker than lumber, since they have to stay flat across a wide surface and lose some thickness when they're flattened. Common slab thicknesses run from about 2 to 3 inches. The width of a slab depends on the log it came from, and the length usually follows standard log lengths of 8 to 12 feet, with shorter pieces for benches, shelves and end tables.
When you ask about a slab, give us the finished length and width you need and a little extra. The bark edge, end checks and cracks all take some of the slab away.
Dry or green
Ask how dry any slab is before you buy it. A freshly cut slab is full of water and will shrink, cup and check as it dries. Thick slabs take a long time to air dry, and wood used indoors in Missouri needs to be drier than outdoor air alone will get it. A green slab is the cheapest way in if you have the space and the patience to let it dry. If you need a slab ready to build with now, tell us, and we'll tell you what we have that's further along.
We don't have a kiln yet. Our kiln drying page has the latest.
Ask about a slab
Tell us what you're building, the size you need, the species you like and when you need it. We'll reply with what we have or could cut. We don't publish a slab price list; every slab is different, so ask for a quote. Our pricing page explains what goes into slab and lumber prices.
