Live Edge Wood FAQ

  • What is the most important thing to look out for when buying any kind of lumber?
    When purchasing lumber for any project, the most important thing is to ensure that the material been properly kiln dried.  Lumber should be dried to between 6-8% moisture content which will prevent the wood from warping or cracking after finishing. Also, make sure to check the material for any drying defects such as cup, bow, twist and cracks.  When shopping with us you can be assured all our slabs and lumber is properly dried.  We mill and dry all our slabs inhouse thereby assuring a high quality product. Visit us today for your next live edge furniture project.
  • How is Live Edge Wood dried at the Old Schoolhouse Mill?
    We dry all our slabs in-house using a woodmizer dehumidifier kiln.  A dehumidification kiln is a slower way to dry wood; however, it produces the most stable and vibrantly colored lumber out of all the kiln drying methods.  We pride ourselves on providing our clients with the best product possible; If it takes a bit longer, so be it, it’s worth it!
  • If I pick out a slab, can you build a table for me?
    Yes, we provide a fully custom build furniture experience here at the Old Schoolhouse Mill.  You can stop in and choose the slab(s) for your project and we will work with you to create exactly the piece of custom furniture you imagined.  You can check out some of our projects on our live edge furniture page or our Instagram.
  • What species of Wood do you sell at the Old Schoolhouse Mill?
    We predominately focus on live edge hardwood slabs.  This includes black walnut, black cherry, hard and soft maple, hickory, elm, white and burr oak, catalpa, white ash, etc.  We do sometimes get our hands on mappa burl which is an exotic species imported from Europe.  Mappa burl is predominantly used for epoxy river tables.
  • Why is Live Edge Wood more expensive than dimensional lumber?
    Everything about Live Edge Wood is BIGGER!  The trees are older and therefore rarer, the logs are larger and costly to transport.  Also since the logs are often large old growth we require specialized wide band sawmills to process the slabs.  Lastly since live edge slabs are so large, we have to take great care to kiln dry the slabs slowly as to avoid drying defects.  Live Edge Wood may be pricey but the character these old growth slabs have is worth it!
