Black Walnut Live Edge Slab is a live edge hardwood slab with natural edge character, visible grain, and the kind of one-off personality that makes slab furniture stand apart from standard dimensional lumber.
Use this slab when the edge profile, species, figure, and thickness are part of the design. Common applications include dining tables, desks, coffee tables, bar tops, countertops, mantels, floating shelves, benches, and wall features.
Before final construction, confirm the flattening plan, final thickness, moisture expectations, base or leg design, and finish schedule. Live edge slabs often need layout planning around natural checks, knots, curves, and grain movement.
