Scott helped me with an important project and it turned out beautiful! Scott has a real attention for detail and makes sure he has all the information before starting. Professional shop, high quality equipment, & excellent craftsmanship. If you need wood slabs flattened and sanded, this is the place! Highly recommended!!

Slab Processing

Quality of the equipment is reflected in the finished product. From a raw wood slab to a processed, flat sanded uniform workable slab.

Slab Flattening

Our Woodpeckers Slab Flattening Mill along with the Festool OF 2200 3 1/4 HP router can flatten slabs up to 4 3/8” thick, 42” wide and 132” long. It’s a purpose-built machine that has 1 job and it does that job very well. Slabs, cookies, burls … table top refinishing…

Planing

Our Woodmaster 25” helical head planer is used in conjunction with the slab flattening mill after a flat reference side has been established, or on material that is flat 2 sides and needs dimensioning. The helical head is efficient and provides smooth tear-out resistant cutting.

Machine Sanding

Our Woodmaster 38” drum sander is excellent at smooth surfacing large slabs that have been flattened.

Slab Cutting

Our Festool TS 75 can cut material straight and square up to 2 15/16” thick. This saw provides glue-up quality rip cuts, and clean cross-cuts on thick material that a regular construction style circular saw just can’t.

Live Edge preparation

It’s all about details, and just taking a sander to a live edge erases those details. There are tools and techniques to preserving the live edge that has been growing for years under that bark. There are different approaches based on wood species, condition, and what you envision. We specialize in preserving and enhancing live edge wood.

Domino indexed gluing

Our Festool Domino machine allows us to index multiple slabs together to a single reference face. Once multiple pieces have been flattened and planed to the same thickness, we can glue these together without having to resurface the top.

Finishing

One of the last processes, and most visible is the finish on your project. There are various hard-wax options and professional quality spray finishes that we can provide. We work with our clients to advise, and supply the best solution for the wood type, application, and budget.

Custom builds / Commissioned work

Many of our clients come to us with their own wood slabs for flattening, and then commission us to build from the slab to their specifications. We collaborate with our clients through the creative process to design, and then create what they envision.
