Current Live Edge Slab Inventory

Thanks for checking out our current inventory of hardwood slabs and lumber! We have more inventory than is shown here so if you are local to the Louisville, KY area please plan to stop by and check everything out!  New slabs are added frequently so please check back often.  All slabs are air dried to preserve the beauty of the natural wood grain, and to minimize any warping or cracks. The mill date is noted on each board and drying time is impacted by board thickness and species. A good rule of thumb to consider a slab completely dry is to allow one year of drying time per inch of thickness. If desired, we can run a slab through a sterilizing kiln cycle according to USDA standards for a nominal fee.

If you see something you like, would like to purchase any of the slabs that you see or have any questions please send us a message or use the Contact Us button above, and remember to include the slab ID in your message.

No! That is a very specialized skill that needs an expert in the field to do because of the dangerous nature involved. What I can do in most cases is save you a lot of money by coming and getting the downed tree to give it a second life instead of the tree company cutting it up and hauling it away.

Yes, we air dry all of our slabs to preserve the beautiful natural wood grain and to minimize the risk of warping or cracks. At your request, we can put any slabs you wish to purchase through a sterilizing kiln cycle per USDA standards for a nominal fee.

It varies from slab to slab and depends on the mill date, which is noted on each piece. While we do not guarantee a certain moisture content, a good rule of thumb is to allow one year for each inch of thickness to ensure drying completion. As a prospective buyer you are encouraged to bring a moisture meter if you are looking for a specific moisture content.

Wood is a living, breathing material which means insects are always a possibility with with any wood, including air dried slabs. Even kiln dried lumber can have them. The possibility can be minimized by putting the air dried slabs through a sterilizing kiln cycle as described above. Similarly, there may be evidence of insect damage in some slabs, such as holes or ambrosia coloring. Many consider these traits to be highly desirable.

Generally speaking we don't surface plane any slabs. It comes off the mill in what's called "rough sawn" state, but if it is not too large we may be able to help with that, just ask. As far as custom cutting, yes we can accommodate that just let us know what size you are looking for.
