About

The first-ever accessible guide on making DIY furniture from live-edge slabs, this book will show you everything you need to know about incorporating organic, natural wood pieces into your home. After learning techniques for milling, drying, and preparing your own slab, adding inlays, using resin and epoxy, creating waterfall edges, and more, you'll then move on to complete seven projects that range in size and offer additional ideas and inspiration to implement in your own projects while using the techniques you've learned! From charcuterie boards and floating shelves to desks, dining tables, benches, and more, both beginner and advanced DIYers can accomplish these stunning woodworking projects! Author George Vondriska is the owner of Vondriska Woodworks, one of the premier woodworking schools in the Midwest. The managing editor of Woodworkers Guild of America and a contributor to Fine Woodworking, WOOD, and Woodworker's Journal, George has also taught woodworking classes for the U.S. Peace Corps, the Pentagon, Northwest Airlines, and Anderson Window. Learn from a true woodworking pro as you transform trees into stunning furniture your family and friends will love!

Reviews

"This book has everything you need to go from a beginner to expert when working with slabs. George is incredibly thorough, and this book has tons of knowledge that usually only comes with years of experience. Not only is it easily digestible for woodworkers of any skill level, but each technique is paired with clear visuals and photos to help the reader understand better. This book is one of those
John Malecki, Youtuber & Woodworker
"Informative, complete, and full of valuable ways to explore live edge wood. George covers all the bases with this guide."
Jess Crow, Epoxy teacher, Owner Crow Creek Designs
"This clear, concise book is peppered with plenty of helpful shop tricks. There's a project for every budget and skillset. The section on flattening slabs using a variety of methods alone makes this book a must read for anyone working with live edge pieces."
Anne Briggs, Anne of ALL Trades
