Freshly sawn walnut live-edge slabs

Walnut & white oak slabs

Our two main species. Walnut brings deep browns and mocha tones, and white oak is strong and durable with a distinctive grain. Both are popular for dining tables, bar tops, desks and waterfall tables.

Cross-cut rounds in a variety of species, depending on what we’ve recently milled. Ideal for end tables, serving trays and cutting boards.

Mantels, milled to order

A live-edge mantel makes a striking centerpiece for any fireplace. Mantels are milled to order rather than kept in stock, and kiln sterilization is available on request. Because mantels are so thick, most can simply dry in place after sitting for a few weeks.

Walnut and white oak are our two main species. We often have cherry slabs as well, and we regularly mill hickory, pecan, Osage orange and other species, so our inventory changes from week to week. Call or text to ask what’s currently in stock.

Thicknesses: we usually have slabs in 6/4, 8/4, 10/4 and 12/4 (about 1½” to 3″ thick). Each log is sawn to the thickness it’s best suited for, depending on its size and character.

Need it surfaced? We can surface any slab you buy from us. Ready to finish it? Rubio Monocoat and TotalBoat epoxy are available at the yard through L&K Hardwoods. Need shelves? We cut floating shelves from our slabs. Want it built? Our partners at L&K Hardwoods handle custom woodworking at the yard.

From our racks

Floating shelves from our slabs

Floating shelves are one of the most popular ways to use our 6/4 and 8/4 slabs. Pick a slab and we’ll cut shelf blanks to the lengths you need.

Finishing them yourself? Rubio Monocoat is available at the yard.

Why buy your slab from us

We keep a large selection on our racks, so you can compare slabs side by side before choosing. Many are extra wide. Our slab mill cuts up to 58″, enough for a full dining table from a single slab. Every slab is sawn here from local logs and dried in our own kiln, and we can surface it before it leaves the yard.

Live-edge slab questions

How wide are your slabs?

Our slab mill cuts slabs up to 58″ wide. Widths in stock change as slabs sell, so call 913-565-7885 or text 913-617-6954 to ask about the widest slabs on the racks right now.

What thicknesses do you carry?

We usually have 6/4, 8/4, 10/4 and 12/4 slabs. We saw each log to the thickness that suits it best, based on its size and character, so availability varies.

Can I pick out my own slab?

Yes. Come to the yard Tuesday through Saturday, 9 to 4, and choose the exact slab you want. Park in front of the shop with the wooden deck and come into the building marked Sawmill.
