Live edge slab pricing is a SCAM. Let me prove it to you. Examples and anecdotes show live edge slabs are simply over priced.

before i watch. i just saw some feller make a table with a suitcase matched walnut table. man it was pretty. my problem is i like maple and im not seeing maple slabs 🤔 and while i own a small mill i don't have any large maples

[@cyberreefguru]

Certainly walnut is a great seller, but I think I prefer maple under certain circumstances. And yes, not a lot of maple slabs out there -- but they ARE out there. Thanks for watching!

I only half agree. If you purchase air dried slabs they will be half the price. Kiln drying one of these 20” plus slabs is expensive compared to dementional lumber. Plus the cost of keeping something that big.
For me doing woodworking has always been about the cost of lumber. That’s why I bought a hobby saw mill. Cut out all the middlemen.

Thanks Mike - certainly drying slabs does take more energy, excellent point. Thanks for watching!

What is the demand for narrow live edge slabs. I've watched a lot of vids using wide slabs for tables and desks etc. But what is the use of a live edge slab that's 10 inches wide? I don't get it. I never see anyone doing anything with them on CZcams.
Ps. I have a few walnut logs in sw Michigan if anyone is interested. 😂

@@davidshumway9639 Hi David -- I don't know what the broader demand is, but I can say we use them a lot of charcuterie boards, smaller tables, and epoxy river cutting boards. They are quite popular, if not in "high" demand. Thanks for watching!
