Kiln Dried Live Edge Wood Slabs For Sale

The Journey From Tree to Slab: Our Process

At Lancaster Live Edge, we are committed to providing high-quality live edge wood slabs. Our dedication is reflected in our robust production process, which ensures superior quality.

• Sourcing the logs: We work directly with our sister company, Beiler's Sawmill, giving us access to a diverse supply of hardwood logs. The sawmill maintains sustainable and responsible sourcing practices, ensuring logs are ethically sourced from local and regional forests. We use a wide range of premium hardwoods, including walnut, maple, and oak.
• Milling: Our logs are milled at our sawmill, giving us complete control over the process and quality of each live edge wood slab. We also create custom cuts for our live edge wood slabs, catering to specific customer requests without compromising the wood's natural contour.
• Drying: All our slabs are air-dried for two years after milling and then kiln-dried for optimal moisture content. The slabs are closely monitored to prevent warping, cracking, and other defects and ensure each slab meets furniture-grade quality.
• Selection and preparation: We select our slabs from thousands, and our experts examine the slabs' grain, knots, and figure to find the best ones. Each slab is then prepared for stabilization and undergoes careful cleaning, planing, sanding, and inspection.
• Stabilization: Our handpicked slabs undergo stabilization to prevent cracks and ensure long-term durability. We use diverse stabilization processes, including epoxy filling.
• Finishing: The final step in live edge slab production is finishing. We sand, seal, and coat each piece of wood to remove imperfections, protect the wood from harsh elements, and achieve your desired aesthetic. We offer various finishing options for our live edge tables, including polyurethane, stain, epoxy, and hardwax finish.
