Each live edge walnut slab is entirely one-of-a-kind, featuring rich grain patterns and a dramatic contrast between deep chocolate heartwood and pale, creamy sapwood.

View SlabWhy Walnut Is Our Best-Selling Species
Walnut consistently tops our sales charts — and our workshop floor — because it checks every box for both beauty and performance. The stunning contrast between deep chocolate-brown heartwood and creamy, light sapwood creates an eye-catching centerpiece in any room.
As a highly durable premium hardwood, walnut withstands daily use, making it ideal for high-traffic dining tables and statement furniture. Because every walnut slab features naturally elegant grain patterns, no two pieces are alike. Your furniture will be as unique as you are.
Black Walnut vs. English Walnut Slabs
Not all walnut looks the same. Black walnut is native to North America and features richer, darker coloring with tighter, straighter grain—think classic deep brown tones.
English walnut, on the other hand, shows off lighter milk-chocolate tones with wilder, heavily marbled figure patterns that lean toward a more rustic aesthetic. As a sister company to a Lancaster County sawmill, we have direct access to freshly kiln-dried walnut inventory that rotates weekly, so you'll always find options that match your vision.
Live Edge Walnut Slab Price Sheet
Our slabs may vary in cost on a range of factors such as uniqueness, figure, and shape. However, most of our walnut wood slabs are priced according to the table below. Figured black and english walnut, for example, curly walnut or crotch cut walnut may have a premium. To calculate the price per board foot, we measure the length once, the thickness once, and take the average of 3 width measurements to calculate an estimate of the total board feet of wood the slab has. The prices below do not include flattening, sanding, or finishing fees. If you're wondering what rough cut, kiln dried live edge walnut slabs cost, reference the table below.
| Slab Width | Black Walnut Cost | English Walnut Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 20" or Less | $13/bd. ft | $13/bd. ft |
| 20"-29" Wide | $15/bd. ft | $15/bd. ft |
| 30"-34" Wide | $18/bd. ft | $18/bd. ft |
