What we flatten
- Live edge slabs for tables, desks, counters, mantels and shelves
- End-grain and edge-grain cutting boards and butcher blocks
- Glue-ups, panels and old tabletops that have cupped or twisted
- Epoxy river pours (we flatten after the pour, when the epoxy has fully cured)
How it works
- Bring the slab in, or send photos with the length, width and thickness for a quote.
- We find the high spots, set a target thickness, and take light passes on both faces.
- Most slabs are ready within a few days; large or very twisted pieces take longer. We will give you a date when you drop it off.
Good to know
- Flattening removes material. A slab that is cupped 3/8" will lose at least that much thickness.
- Kiln-dried or well air-dried wood holds its shape. Wet wood moves again after flattening.
- No slab yet? We stock black walnut, maple and cherry in random sizes and can quote a flattened slab from stock.
- We can also square the ends or cut to length while it is here. Slabs leave flat and ready for your own sanding and finish; we do not finish sand.
