Buying Guide
- What size suits my project? Consider whether you need compact boards for signs or longer slabs for tables or wall art. Pick sizes that minimize waste and maximize usable surface.
- What thickness is appropriate? Thicker slabs (around 0.6–1.0 inches) are sturdier for furniture; thinner boards are easier to finish and carve for decor.
- Live edge vs. bark preserved? Bark-preserved edges offer rustic charm; smooth, planed edges are better for epoxy pours and clean finishes.
- Finish considerations? If using for serving or food contact, ensure finishes are food-safe after curing. Kiln-dried boards tend to warp less.
- Consistency vs. uniqueness? Packs deliver consistency, while individually unique slabs provide distinctive character for statement pieces.
- Care and maintenance? Regularly seal with a suitable finish to protect the wood from moisture and wear, especially for kitchen or display use.
