Woodworker’s Guide to Live Edge Slabs

by George Vondriska

Woodworker and teacher George Vondriska guides you through the process of creating furniture and other items using live-edge slabs.

He shows you techniques for milling and prepping your own lumber, using epoxy, adding inlays and creating a waterfall edge to make natural wood objects for your home. He then provides step-by-step instructions with photos for eight projects: a charcuterie board, a magnetic knife block, a deer track bench, a walnut cookie coffee table, a desk with a painted base, a steel pipe shelf, floating shelves, and even a bookmatched dining table.

Photo galleries of Vondriska’s work and that of other live-edge slab woodworkers are included to inspire you to create your own furniture designs and projects. This comprehensive guide will appeal to woodworkers of all skill levels. Softcover, 8" × 10", 144 pages, 2021.
