Sale Sold out

These Black Walnut live edge slabs are a great choice if you’re looking for something with real character and a natural look you just can’t get from dimensional lumber.

Each piece is cut from solid Black Walnut, kiln-dried, and planed flat, while keeping both natural edges intact. No two boards are the same, and that’s exactly the point.

Perfect for shelves, table builds, mantels, and custom woodworking projects where you want the wood to stand out.

Product Details

Species: Black Walnut
Thickness: Rough 5/4, planed to approximately 1.125" – 1.25"
Widths: Vary by selection (measured as average width)
Lengths: Vary by selection
Edges: Natural live edge on both sides
Surfacing: Planed flat, left unsanded
Moisture Content: Kiln-dried to approximately 6–10%

What to Expect (Please Read)

Each slab is completely unique in shape, grain, and color.

Widths are listed as an average measurement. Due to the natural live edge, boards will be wider and narrower in different areas.

Live edge means natural variation. Edges may include curves, voids, knots, splits, or irregularities. These are not defects, they are part of the character of the wood.

Bark is not guaranteed to be present or intact. Bark can loosen or fall off during the drying, milling, or shipping process.

Color will vary from board to board. Walnut can range from lighter brown to deep dark tones and may include lighter sapwood.

Boards are planed flat but not finish sanded. Light sanding is recommended before finishing.

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, boards will vary in width along their length, so all widths are listed as a rough average, not the widest or narrowest point.

Lengths are cut within the listed size range but are not always perfectly squared on the ends. In most cases, boards may be up to approximately 1" longer than the listed length. This allows you to make final, clean cuts as needed for your specific project.

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 slabs.

For best results, allow your board to acclimate to your space before final sanding, cutting, or installation.

Finishing Tips

These slabs are intentionally 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

For a natural look, even a simple oil finish will bring out the grain and color dramatically.

I love this piece of wood

Awsome product would recommend it

Great, smooth cut, very little sanding required, finished with three coats of Danish oil, added hairpin legs to make a low display table. Looks great. Thanks.

These shelves are beautiful!!! Amazing, well made and they have beautiful grain and live edge. Great price too! Thank you so much for letting me afford this luxury.

Love this piece of wood

Great board, arrived quickly and well packaged, no damage during transportation. Looks better in person than on a site photo. Will work really well for my custom one piece cutting board project. Thank you. Would not hesitate to purchase more boards from this seller.

I have always had outstanding customer service with Black Sheep. I messaged about some dimensions I needed for a project and the slab was perfect. Highly recommend this shop-quality slabs and great customer service!

Always quality slabs! Free from twists or cupping. Customer service is responsive and accommodating to help get the exact slab you are looking for. Highly recommend!!

The piece of wood is absolutely beautiful and has a nice colored heart. Would buy from them again!

I was very excited to get this. I treated it and put some hairpin type legs on it to make a plant table for my wife. We both love it. Thanks again.

Great pieces of live edge for charcuterie boards. unbelievable color and grain. God made the beauty i just revealed it !!

This slab is gorgeous! The customer service rivals it in that I inadvertently ordered 2. I reached out when I realized my mistake and Stanley responded immediately, kindly, and refunded my account. I am making a desk and this slab has sanded up and stained beautifully!

Was perfect for what I needed and love how it looks on my little project

Beautiful board, fair price, fast shipping!

Excellent product, will definitely be ordering from them again and again.

I received a great piece of wood. Shipping was super fast. This is one of the first pieces of wood I have purchased off of Ebay or Etsy that impressed me when it arrived. Very pleased with this and I plan on buying more.

another nice slab of walnut for charcuterie board !

nice piece of wood, arrived well packaged with bubble wrap.

This item was okay not great, For the price. But other item purchased was excellent. Some knots on this one a bit wet will have to plain it to clean a bit but all in all it will get the job done.
Also my mistake for not fully reading about live edge not being there.

Received this walnut slab in excellent condition and as described. Was perfectly suited for the build I purchased it for. I’m not reviewing the customer service aspect as I had no contact with the seller beyond the purchase via Etsy. Based on my experience with this order I would definitely order again if/when the need should arise.

Just what I was looking for thanks

I love the service and fast shipping! The wood is really beautiful!! Larger than I expected!

Pieces look great. I’m
Excited to make some charcuterie boards !!

Seller went over and above to get me my second board that looks awesome thank you
