Live Edge Interior Finish

I never have seem it marketed as a construction product, but he/she may be able to go to a mill and ask for “Slab wood” as I have heard it called in the use of fire wood.

You’re looking for “face cuts” or “first cuts” from a mill. Keep in mind that these may be the worst face of the log. If a sawyer is cutting for grade, he finds the BEST face and then makes his first cut OPPOSITE that best face, to get a flat side for the log to sit on while he then starts cutting the best face of the log.

Is this for asthetics or cost? Cuts from the sawyer if bark may not be kiln dried? Issues of the cambium layer of the tree being the insects feeding ground? If this works out and yo find it be careful not to infest the project :-)

Consider cedar, I have a small log sitting in my shop which has not cracked or changed save drying out. Bark still on it.
