Please Read:
Please carefully check the pictures and read the product description carefully before purchasing.
All our wood is kiln-dried and surfaced on one or both sides. They are flat upon listing but may bow, cup, or twist slightly in storage. They can be checked for being flat when purchased. All of our lumber is described as accurately as possible, but due to the nature of highly figured raw lumber, minor cracking/checking might not be evident. Some boards have soft/punky/rotted areas (which will be noted in the product description) that can break or be easily marred. These areas may require additional stabilization before finishing. The bark is not always present or firmly attached to slabs (this will be noted in the product description). Due to the natural live edge of the wood, dimensions are measured at “the widest spot” or “the narrowest spot”. If the bark is intact, the measurement is included. Even though we try our best to produce exceptional products, minor splits, checks, divots, inclusions, cracks, knots, warp, & taper are all considered acceptable characteristics of live edge wood adding to the rustic charm of the piece.
To preview how a slave may finish, slabs are wiped with water. The pictured items show the front (wet) and the back (dry) of the exact slab available for purchase. Due to the highly unique nature of live edge lumber, it is impossible to duplicate any piece completely. Slabs cut from the same log will have similar characteristics and shapes. All numbers are written on boards with a blue wax crayon which easily sands off.
Caring for Live Edge Furniture and Slabs:
The Environment: The furniture should be kept in a temperature and humidity-controlled area with an optimal temperature of 70-72 degrees Fahrenheit with 30-50% relative humidity. When exposed to drastic changes in temperature or humidity, the following may occur: the materials may expand and contract which can cause checking/cracking/warping. None of these conditions would be considered manufacturing defects as wood is a natural, breathing element that responds to its environment.
The Color: Furniture should not be exposed to constant direct sunlight. Direct UV light will cause sun-fading or bleaching if exposed for extended periods.
Wood Storage: When stored for extended periods, finished and unfinished lumber should be stored relatively flat with adequate airflow on all sides. If a side of the wood is not allowed to breathe, cracking and warping may occur.
Live Edge: The outside surface of the tree you see while it is still standing. If the bark has fallen off, "live edge" refers to the surface right under the bark.
Surfacing: Sanding, Planing or Flattening.
Difference between planing and flattening: Planing takes a small amount off the top of the board, but does not make the board flat.
Checking: Cracks and splits that occur in wood as it dries and loses moisture.
Taper: A rough, unplaned area that tends to be thinner than the rest of the board. The rough dimensions of the largest taper are listed as well as how much thinner it is.
Inclusions: Parts of a slab that are not cracks and do not go all the way through the board. The rough dimensions are listed as well as the depth of the largest inclusion on the top.
Voids: Areas of a board that aren't cracks but go all the way through the board. The rough dimensions of the largest void on the top are listed.
Bug Area: This is an area of a board where bugs, beetles, etc., have eaten away the wood. These areas have voids, inclusions, and cracks, and they go through the board entirely. We give you the rough dimensions of the area.Note: All bugs are killed in the drying process, these are the holes left behind.
