Why Choose a Maple Live Edge Slab?
Maple checks every box for both beauty and performance. Its beautiful light, creamy color and smooth, tight grain accept natural finishes flawlessly, making it easy to achieve a professional look whether you're working with oil, lacquer, or wax.
As one of the hardest and most durable domestic hardwoods available, a maple live edge slab ensures your custom piece is built to last a lifetime — even under heavy daily use.
Unlike darker woods like walnut, maple provides a brighter, more modern aesthetic that instantly opens up any room, making smaller spaces feel larger and more inviting.
Types of Maple We Carry
Not all live edge maple slabs look the same. Hard maple offers unmatched density for heavy-use furniture like dining tables and bar tops, while soft maple provides easier workability for intricate DIY builds and floating shelves.
For those looking for something truly unique, spalted maple features striking, naturally occurring black zone lines created by fungi, giving the wood a dramatic, artistic look that's perfect for statement pieces. Ambrosia maple showcases stunning gray and brown streaks trailing through the wood, created by the ambrosia beetle — it's nature's own artwork.
Our kiln-dried maple inventory rotates weekly, so you'll always find fresh options.
Ambrosia Maple, Curly Maple, & Spalted Maple Cost Sheet
Maple wood slabs vary in price based on the grain pattern and width. Maple slabs are priced from $6-$18 a board foot and that varies based on width. Flattening and sanding are available for an additional fee and add approximately 2 weeks to the pickup time for the slab. On finished slabs, spalted maple and curly maple will increase the overall cost per board foot.

Why Work With Lancaster Live Edge?
When you choose Lancaster Live Edge, you're doing more than buying lumber — you're partnering with a full-service custom furniture shop that puts quality and customer choice first.
- Sister company to a local sawmill: Our direct connection to a Lancaster County sawmill gives us first access to premium maple slabs as they're milled. That means fresher inventory, better selection and competitive pricing without the middleman markup.
- Specialized figured maple selection: We stock hard-to-find spalted and ambrosia maple varieties that sell out quickly elsewhere. Our weekly rotating inventory ensures you'll always have access to unique, dramatic pieces.
- Complete customization options: Whether you're a seasoned DIYer or want a fully finished custom piece, we offer professional in-house flattening, sanding and finishing services. We can also create custom epoxy river tables in any color — vibrant blues, deep blacks and rich emerald greens look stunning against maple's pale background.
- Hand-select your slab: Schedule a weekday appointment to visit our Lancaster County shop and hand-pick your exact slab. See the spalting patterns and ambrosia streaks in person before you commit.
- Transparent pricing you can trust: Our maple slabs are priced per board foot, scaled by width. Wider slabs and highly figured pieces, such as heavily spalted or ambrosia maple, cost more due to their rarity, but there are no hidden fees or surprise charges.
What Can You Create Using Maple Slabs?
Maple slabs are incredibly versatile for both residential and commercial projects. Popular builds include custom dining tables, professional desks, massive conference tables, coffee tables and kitchen island countertops.
Maple's light, creamy tone also creates a stunning contrast when paired with colorful epoxy rivers — especially vibrant blues, deep blacks and rich emerald greens that really pop against the pale wood background.
