What to Expect (Please Read)
Each board will have its own natural grain, color, and edge variation.
Live edges will vary in shape and character. Bark is not guaranteed to be present or intact and may be partially or fully missing due to the drying and milling process.
Color will vary from lighter brown to deep dark tones and may include lighter sapwood.
You may also see natural features such as knots, small cracks, voids, or irregular grain patterns. These are normal and part of the character of real wood.
Boards are planed smooth and lightly sanded. More sanding is recommended before applying your finish.
Width & Length Notes
Widths are measured based on the usable wood face only, from inside edge to inside edge, excluding bark. Due to the natural live edge, widths will vary along the length, so all widths are listed as a rough average.
Lengths are cut within the listed size range but are not always perfectly squared on the ends. Boards may be up to approximately 1" longer than the listed length to allow for final trimming.
Important Notes on Movement
Wood is a natural material and will move with changes in humidity. Slight bow, cup, or twist can occur, especially with wider boards.
We recommend allowing material to acclimate before final sanding, cutting, or installation.
Finishing Tips
These boards are left unfinished so you can take them exactly where you want.
For most projects:
- Sand to desired smoothness
- Apply a finish like polyurethane, hardwax oil, or tung oil
Even a simple oil finish will bring out the grain and color.
