Texas oak slabs for builders and makers

Oak slabs are strong and heavy with pronounced grain. They reward careful drying and proper flattening before finish work. Ask about moisture content and end checks before you buy. For species references, the Wood Database is a solid resource.

Oak slab selection tips

Check for end checks and internal splits.
Look for even grain and minimal twist.
Plan for flattening after acclimation.
Ask about quarter or rift cuts when possible.

Kiln load policy

We handle large kiln loads only (2000 bd/ft minimum). Oak must air-dry under cover for a few months before kiln scheduling. Wet wood ties up the kiln longer, raises energy use, and increases checking, so it is accepted only at a premium when schedules allow.
