This wood slab is kiln dried and ready to use! This piece was custom planed on our 70" custom spiral planer. It is dry and ready to use. There is a natural live edge. It has gum pockets and bark incursions. If you are not okay with these features this is not the piece for you! This is a very rare species and a large natural burl tabletop. This would make a beautiful end table, coffee table, or accent piece. This is a one of a kind, amazing, piece!
