Before and After- Bubinga Slab


-Another Before and After-

Nice "little" Bubinga Slab

Some of you may remember this one sitting towards the back of the shop. Its kind of hard to visualize what a piece will look like when its done, especially when it is in the rough and has not even been sanded.

We tried convincing many customers that the slab would look amazing once it was finished, all it needed was to be sanded correctly and a couple coats of oil to bring out out all the figure.

The best part was for about $700 you had a solid slab of wood all the way from Africa.

I think 3 of the 4 that inquired about it ended up playing it safe and going with some of our thicker maple slabs that cost about twice as much.


One lucky customer ended up taking our advice and picking this little gem of a slab.

Here is the same slab after Mike Wells at Tassajara Designs, which is located next door to us, sanded and finished it.


Yup...no figure at all, that thing looks soooo boring...

Just joking, we think this slab turned out great! Can you imagine having this thing in your dining room? Talk about a conversation starter!

In case you were wondering...YES we can arrange to have your slab sanded and/or finished next door at Tassajara Designs.

They can handle any of the slabs that we carry and offer a wide range of services.

Many of our clients have saved alot of money in the past by having them work on our Slabs, since they are located right next door.

Pick-out your 3' wide x 14' slab, have Tassajara sand it, and have us ship it directly to you.

Makes life alot easier, especially once these slabs get up there in size
