Walnut Slabs and Coffee Tables
Are you dreaming up a project to create a beautiful, unique coffee table or collection of coffee tables? If you don’t know where to start, at the Lumber Shack we will help guide you through this entire process so that you find the perfect kiln dried and heat sterilized wood slab out of our inventory and get you well on your way to creating the unique, custom look you desire.
Unsure of what type of wood species you’re looking for? We will give you suggestions based upon the vision you have for the finished product or products. Although we offer many different types of locally grown tree slabs that are harvested in an environmentally friendly way, many of our craftsmen and clients opt for a walnut slab for a particularly sleek looking coffee table that is also functional. Today’s consumers want furniture that is charming, rustic, sleek, elegant, distinctive, and cozy all at once. For a lot of furniture vendors, this creates a challenge. However, for those who use our organic selection of wood slabs and slices to create their products, the customers who buy the finished product get everything they wanted and more.
Another option our customers love is a beautiful, round Sycamore coffee table; you can see some of these as finished products in our coffee table photo gallery on the website. Coffee tables are a fun option for wood workers because they can be so diverse. You can take a look at the different live edge options that we showcase in our gallery; some are subtle while others are bold and more distinctive. However, all are beautifully raw and perfectly crafted. Coffee tables can be one or two tiered, long or fairly small in circumference, and they can be made into any shape you dream up. You’ll also notice that these tables look amazing whether they’re placed on top of concrete, wood flooring or a colorful accent rug.

As you peruse through the finished coffee tables in our photo gallery, you’ll be able to view ideas and inspiration for the table legs that will work best for your project or clients.

Have you ever seen wood furnishings that are poorly crafted or cared for? You will find none of that at The Lumber Shack; we guarantee only the most premium and perfectly crafted wood slabs. Wood needs to be properly treated and sanitized before it can be successfully transformed and used as decor or furniture. We take care of that process for you here at The Lumber Shack. First of all, we sanitize every slab or cut of wood that will be sold through a heat treatment that the wood is safe as well as free of insects or germs.
Not only do we perform this heat sterilizing treatment for all of our wood, but we also fire our lumber in a wood kiln which is the best way to heat the wood. The way we perform this heat treatment guarantees that we get the temperature and firing process right every time so that the perfect amount of moisture is retained in our wood slabs. This is why you’ll notice that all of our beautiful, individually carved slabs have the perfect color and will arrive to you in prime condition every time.
We’re available for our customers before, during and after they purchase our products. If you have a question about our walnut slabs, coffee tables or just need help and tips for finishing the product we’ve sent you, we invite you to reach out to us. We provide the highest level of care to our clients because we’re passionate and proud of the work we do and also because we want you to make The Lumber Shack your go to choose for all of your timber and wood crafting needs.
