Are you ready to take the plunge and buy a live edge slab for your home project? The coolest thing about using a live edge slab, especially one that is from salvaged urban lumber, is that you have a unique, one-of-a-kind piece in your home.

That is priceless, so make sure to do your research and ask questions.
