Whether you’re building a table, planning an epoxy project, or just curious, we’re here to help.

How Most Visits Go:

  2. Ask questions or compare options
  3. Decide later or reserve your slab

About Our Slabs

Our Slab Inventory (Important to Know)

We focus on kiln-dried, urban-sourced slabs, including:

  • Walnut
  • Box elder
  • Sycamore
  • Cedar
  • Ash and other Midwest species

We carry slabs suitable for:

  • Dining tables and desks
  • River tables and epoxy projects
  • Benches, shelving, and DIY builds

If you’re unsure what will work for your project, we’re happy to talk it through.

What Kinds of Slabs We Carry

The slabs you see online are a preview of our inventory, not everything we have.

  • We regularly rotate slabs in and out of the yard & showroom. 
  • Some slabs never get listed online
  • New material arrives throughout the year

If you saw something online you liked, great — and if not, it’s still worth visiting in person.

Buying Live Edge In-Person

What to Expect When You Visit

Why Buying Slabs in Person Matters

What to Expect When You Visit

  • Walk-ins welcome during open hours
  • Browse slabs freely — touch, measure, and photograph
  • Ask questions if you want (or browse quietly if you don’t)
  • No obligation to purchase the same day

Many customers visit more than once before choosing a slab. That’s completely normal.

Pricing (General Guidance)

Why Buying Slabs in Person Matters

What to Expect When You Visit

Seeing slabs in person helps you:

  • understand grain, color, and figure
  • evaluate live edges and natural character
  • avoid surprises during your build
  • feel confident about what you’re buying

Photos are helpful, but slabs are meant to be chosen in real life.

Slab pricing varies based on:

  • species
  • size and thickness
  • figure and character
  • amount of natural voids or cracks
  • processing (rough milled, surfaced, planed, etc.)

Most slabs fall into clear, predictable ranges, and we’re always upfront about pricing.
You’re welcome to ask questions or compare options without pressure.

Not ready to buy yet? That’s normal. Most customers visit more than once.
