Slabs for sale DIY. Men standing next to Walnut Slabs to show height in proportion

We have a selection of beautiful slabs, burls and mantles for sale.  Russian Elm, Honey Locust, Maple, Ponderosa Pine , Redwood and Black Walnut are the species currently in our slab inventory.

Slab pricing is determined by two factors:

  1. Measurements to determine Board Feet
  2. Board Foot Price

Board Foot Price is determined by:

  • Species
  • Color clarity, the variation in the rainbows, the figurines, and the curliness of the wood

A “board foot” is 12 inches square and 1 inch thick. Slabs are usually two+ inches thick and the width varies anywhere from 12 inches to 36 inches or 42 inches and sometimes even larger.  The lengths vary from 6 feet to 16 feet. Each individual slab is measured by “board feet” and the species of wood is given a per board foot price.

For example, take a black walnut slab that is two inches thick, 36″ wide, and twelve feet long.  To determine the board feet, take the (36″ width x 144″ length x 2″ the thickness)/ divided by 144 = 72 board feet. Black Walnut is usually around $14+ per board foot so this hypothetical slab would sell at $1008.

There are some woods in our Slab inventory that are $20+ per board foot.  Eucalyptus will be going for between $20 and $40 per board foot,  depending on the color clarity, the variation in the rainbows, the figurines, and the curly wood.  All of those factors are taken into consideration for pricing a per board foot price. That’s the only way you can accurately measure a board to put a price tag on it.
