Slab Finishing Services

Have you slab built into a finished product by our skilled craftsmen. Following is the steps we take to build each slab project.

1. Surface plane the slabs to assure they're perfectlly flat.

2. Remove and bark and debris from all of the edges and micro cracks.

3. Stabilize all of the cracks and voids. We use several different methods and products, but mostly use epoxy products. All the voids, cracks and deteriorated wood will be completely stabilzed to assure a solid slab.

4. Final sand all of the sides of the wood up to 180-320 grit. Depending on the species and what finish being used will determind how high we sand up to.

5. Finish application. We use two different finishes. We apply two coats of our Rustic Lumber Furniture oil. After it cures we then apply ceramic coating. Our other finish option is spraying three coats of urethane finish.

6. Mount the base. We install the base with threaded inserts. This allows easy removal of the base from the slab.

I wouldn't go back. Had 1 log for 7 months. Lost it, found it lost it. Tried to give me some other log. Way longer than expected. Veneer quality lumber turned into junk. Cracks and cupping. For $1200 its a joke. The only people that know what they're doing is the lady up front ( Brandy ) and a guy in the back ( Phil )

Trust us. We don't want you to come back. You were consitently rude and demanding. Always trying to weasly us a cheaper price because of the time. You paid $600 for sawmilling and $600 for kiln drying, not $1200 for only the kiln drying. You are also more than welcome to buy your own $90,000 kiln next time. We stored you lumber in our shed to properly air dry first for 6 months which is a neccesity to dry walnut correctly. We also clearly explained to you that our kiln was broke down for 2 months which was out of our control. We confused your wood with another customer? Big deal, once we realized it was the wrong customer we quickly had your correct slabs in the kiln in the next load. You also have no experence or knowledge of drying wood. Do you really think slabs are going to come out in perfect quality? We dried the wood at a low and slow tempurature for 6 weeks and only charged for a 4 week cylce. FYI, we have no one named Phil that works here.
