Surfaced Wood Slabs
Surfaced wood slabs are ideal for tables of all kinds. Our wood slabs are a labor of love wherein we reveal age old beauty that has been hidden like a treasure for many years.
We start with the rough slab and strengthen any character aspects it may have such as cracks, splits, loose knots, voids, and other expected features in one large piece of wood. We accomplish this by installing bracing, bowties, and fillers with the best adhesives to ensure longevity.
We don't do any rocket science surfacing here but we do attempt to achieve as flat of a surface as possible. After surfacing with a hand plane we sand the surface to a 220 grit finish, and then seal it with your choice of interior or exterior sealer. Our has so much natural beauty in its deep striated grains that stains actually detract from it so we only stain these beauties upon request, and then with reservation.
You will receive your crated slab that is ready for the finishing touches in weeks from your order with instructions on how to finish it. There are a number of base configurations that can be utilized to support a slab table, and creativity is the key to success. We also produce bases so inquire as to our ideas if you would like us to handle that as well.
All fine finishes should be applied at your site by a professional painting contractor who is experienced in wood finishing. A great resource for such a contractor would be your local professional paint store.
