BEAUTIFUL LIVE EDGE WOOD SLABS KILN DRIED IN-HOUSE
Earthy® Timber – Manufacturer of Kiln Dried Wood Slabs
Earthy® Timber produces the most interesting, beautifully featured waney edge wood slabs, thanks to highly specialised, developed in-house timber elaborating and drying technology, allowing us to transform diseased, rotten, infested, fungal trees into structurally strong, healthy, dry timber slabs.
Beautiful and Earthy® Timber’s Features
Earthy® Timber ‘s live edge wood slabs are beautifully detailed (with pronounced wood grain, open knots and striations), for the same reasons they were initially categorised as unsound.
Earthy® Timber slabs upgraded in this way are ideal for resin applications such as waney edge wood resin tables, river tables, statement kitchen island worktops, live edge oak breakfast bar tops with resin infusions.
Zero Waste Luxury Furniture Company
We are zero waste luxury furniture brand whilst maintaining optimum aesthetical design throughout from initial enquiries to a finished product.
We use ethically sourced, beautifully ‘imperfect’ high quality English rustic oak, European wild walnut and other home grown hardwoods to create modern – rustic wood slab counter tops infused with resins.
Designer Wooden Furniture for Interesting Spaces
Our waney edge wood slab counter tops are designed to suit multiple environments, whether it be a contemporary studio or a rural cottage. Our live edge wood slabs are hand-picked in house ensuring utmost suitablity for the project. The wood’s features and earthy® tones are always compatible.
High Quality Wood Slabs for Period Properties and Barn Renovations
At Earthy® Timber we believe quality is more important than quantity. We choose who we work with carefully and take on a limited number of clients at a time to ensure high quality results.
We have wide experience in supplying matching timber as well as finished furniture, counter tops, window sills for listed buildings and barn renovations, windmill restorations, victorian house and period building renovation projects.
We are now the proud owners of the best countertop on a boat!
I looked high and low for a wide, natural worktop for our boat and found nobody else could do it. We tried timber merchants and sawmills and the best they could do was offer to stick two planks together.
We didn’t think we were asking for the moon, but only at Earthy Timber could we get what we wanted – a beautiful slab of wood with bark preserved with resin that looks great and wouldn’t split or warp and retained its connection with the tree it was cut from.
We now have a spectacular combination: feature live edge wooden counter top and jewellery-making bench to compliment our beautiful boat.

EARTHY® TIMBER ‘S ELABORATING AND WOOD DRYING PROCESS
Professionally Kiln Dried Waney Edge Wood Slabs
At Earthy® Timber we use our in-house vacuum kiln to professionally dry our waney edge timber slabs to below 10% moisture content. This process is essential to ensure that the wood is stable, suitable for internal use and resin wood applications.
Timber Slab’s Structural Soundness
We cannot stress enough how important professional timber elaborating and kiln drying is to guarantee timber’s structural soundness. The state of the art, developed in house wood processing and drying technology ensures that our wooden tables and live edge counter tops are both timeless and durable.
Our extra wide waney edge timber slabs are suitably resistant to inevitable changes in humidity and temperature in kitchen and bathroom environment.
Regrettably, a large portion of timber slabs on the market are not sufficiently dried and clients are unaware of the potential dangers involved. Insufficient wood drying, especially in the core of the wood plank, may result in warping, twisting, swelling and infestation of woodworm. As a direct consequence, neighbouring surfaces regardless of type, could be potentially affected and damaged. These problems may take months to manifest themselves, by this point it is often to late to recieve a refund from rogue timber sellers.
We strongly advise that our clients check that the timber bought from their suppliers is adequately kiln dried before they commit to the purchase by measuring the moisture content in the core of the wood slab (middle section, half way through the thickness)
Also note that timber dried using conventional methods is likely to have a substantially higher moisture content compared to our vacuum kiln dried wood slabs, thus making them more prone to defects.
Where to Buy Quality Timber for High End Projects
Our professionally kiln dried wood slabs can be purchased from our Earthy® Timber Luxury Furniture as finished products using our professional finishing services.
The kiln dried waney edge wood slabs can also be purchased from Earthy® Timber Custom Shop raw, unfinished and levelled. Wood levelling service is available at an additional cost. The tree bark is not removed unless it has peeled off or flaked off naturally.

OUR INTERESTING TIMBER SLAB ‘S CHOICES
The Origin of Our Waney Edge Timber Slabs
Our earthy® live edge wood slabs and planks originate from very old trees from English Woodlands and European forests.
Sustainably Sourced Salvaged Timber
Sustainability is very important to us. We often utilise and salvage timber from tree removal and tree surgeon jobs, as well as trees that fell due to harsh weather conditions. We also use reclaimed wood from firewood piles and salvaged wood trunks that would have been left to rot.
Timber Slabs from EU and UK Woodlands
All our timber is sourced either in the UK or EU and meets the policy and standards of responsible forest management to comply with EUTR standards.
Interesting Wood Slabs Selected for Their Earthy® Features
We offer an unrivalled service in supplying a wide range of kiln dried, interesting timber slabs. Each wide wood plank is selected for their beautiful characteristics, earthy® tones and features.
Our rustic – modern wood slab tables and counter tops can be manufactured using an English wild walnut or oak. We also offer some rare varieties such as wild apple, wild pear, hornbeam, sweet chestnut, yew tree, acacia, elm, and lime. All our varieties of timber come in varying dimensions.
We personally select the earthy® wood for all our projects. Our unique waney edge slabs make the most beautiful live edge tables, desks, kitchen island counter tops, bathroom basin shelf tops and feature shelves.

Our square edge choice is by far our most modern edging style choice and is guaranteed to add a contemporary feel to your home. Our square edged slabs can be beautifully combined with our signature resin infill and highlight the natural features of the timber such as the knots, cracks and striations.
Earthy® Wood Slab Mixed Edged
Whether you want a predominantly modern feel to your home but love the naural feel of the live edge, a mixed edging style might be for you. Using our mixed edging allows for the natural beauty of the live edge with the familiar functionality and aesthetical feel of a contemporary interior design.
Natural Wood Slab in Oil Finish
We use a colour enhancing oil finish that allows the amplification of the organic earthy® tones that add a radiant warmth to your live edge solid wood slab counter top. Our natural oil for wood application is high quality and is incredibly durable against damage such as heat, food acid, water and alcohol.
Oil finish works in a very different way from our lacquer finish and works its way into the deeper layers of the timber slab to create several protective layers throughout. All whilst maintaining an optimum moisture balance. We believe our oil finish works well to protect and maintain your earthy® solid wood slab, however, we do recommend to take care when placing hot mugs, plates, bowls and glasses on your slab. Over time your bespoke earthy® slab table top or counter top will need to be re-oiled to maintain its appearance and protective feature. This process along with a fine sanding can also be used to repair any damage. More information regarding maintenance can be found on our maintenance guide.
Natural Wood Slab in Lacquer Finish
Our lacquer finish is a perfect option to fully protect and preserve your solid wood slab and to maintain the original earthy® tones and colourings of the timber. Unlike oil, rather than deeply penetrate the layers of the wood, the lacquer sits on top of the slab and acts more of a thick barrier against damage. Our transparent, water based, low-VOC lacquer product is of the highest quality and offers a high resistance to moisture, heat, staining and scratching. Our lacquer product also features a non-yellowing formula and UV protection.
If the lacquer barrier was to wear down over time, or damage was to occur, lacquer can be re-applied after a fine sanding. Further information regarding our lacquer finishing can be found at our maintenance guide.

GUIDE PRICE
When choosing your wood slab thickness, please bear in mind that during the essential levelling process to achieve a flat surface, a loss of around 10-15mm will occur. Our levelling service is available on request at additional cost. Please also bear in mind that the width (depth) of each live edge wood slab top is measured at the widest point of the plank. Any additional services are available at an extra cost. Our pre-selected, kiln dried, exceptionally unique and interesting wood slabs are subject to availability and are premium priced.

WOOD SLABS FOR PROFESSIONALS
Choose your timber slabs wisely
In order to produce a long-lasting wood and resin table or counter top it is absolutely essential to use the wood slab that has been kiln dried below 10% moisture content (measured in the very core of the plank) as this guarantees the stability and produces the expected results. Otherwise, with poor base, most likely all your hard work will turn into disappointment.
