Reviews for Woodworker's Guide to Live Edge Slabs: Transforming Trees into Tables, Benches, Cutting Boards, and More

"A comprehensive guide of working with organic natural edge timbers, this is a worthwhile resource for the aspiring woodworker. -- ""Rick Hearne, hearnehardwoods.com"" Informative, complete, and full of valuable ways to explore live edge wood. George covers all the bases with this guide. -- ""Jess Crow, Epoxy teacher, Owner Crow Creek Designs "" This book has everything you need to go from a beginner to expert when working with slabs. George is incredibly thorough, and this book has tons of knowledge that usually only comes with years of experience. Not only is it easily digestible for woodworkers of any skill level, but each technique is paired with clear visuals and photos to help the reader understand better. This book is one of those things I wish I had when I got started working with slabs, it would have saved me lots of headaches and thousands of dollars from pain-staking mistakes. -- ""John Malecki, Youtuber & Woodworker"" This clear, concise book is peppered with plenty of helpful shop tricks. There's a project for every budget and skillset. The section on flattening slabs using a variety of methods alone makes this book a must read for anyone working with live edge pieces. -- ""Anne Briggs, Anne of ALL Trades"""
