Want a ballpark first? Send us the dimensions and wood type through our contact page or at cole@workerswood.ca, and we'll give you an estimate.

It depends on the size of the job. Send us the dimensions and wood type, and we'll give you a timeline along with your quote.

Our wide planer and wide belt sander takes material up to 52 inches wide and 20 feet long. That covers most dining table tops, live edge slabs, countertops and bar tops in one pass across the width.

Slabs up to 52 inches wide and 20 feet long go through our wide belt machine. Working with something bigger? Send us the dimensions and we'll tell you what we can do.

Flattening takes out the cup, twist and bow so a slab sits true. Planing (thicknessing) brings a board or slab to an even thickness. Sanding cleans up the surface so it's ready for stain or finish.

Most slabs that have moved while drying or in storage need all three before you can build with them. More on slab flattening.

Yes. Epoxy and resin tables go through our wide belt sander just like solid wood, so you get one flat, even surface across the wood and the pour. Epoxy work is $8 per minute of machine time, with a $60 minimum.

Yes. We plane rough-sawn lumber, air-dried slabs and reclaimed wood. Let us know it's reclaimed when you get in touch, and send the dimensions and wood type.

Get in touch first with the dimensions and wood type. If you're not sure your piece can be planed, that's the time to ask. We'll confirm we can take it, give you a quote and set up a time to drop it off at our shop in London, Ontario. More on planing and sanding.

Yes. Tell us the sizes you need and we'll cut your lumber, slabs or panels to suit, so they're ready for glue-up. Send your cut list through our contact page.

Right here. We stock live edge black walnut, maple, white oak and ash slabs, with a focus on large Ontario black walnut, book-matched sets and burl. Many are wide enough for a single-slab dining table. Slabs come rough sawn or planed and flattened.

Stock changes often. See the slabs we have now.

We carry furniture-grade black walnut, white oak, hard maple, wormy maple and white ash, plus other Ontario hardwoods as they come in. Dimensional lumber is available in 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 8/4 and 10/4. See our lumber.

Hardwood thickness is measured in quarters of an inch when it's rough sawn. 4/4 ("four quarter") is about 1 inch thick, 6/4 is about 1½ inches and 8/4 is about 2 inches. Planing takes a little off, so finished boards come out thinner than the rough number.

Yes. Our lumber is kiln dried and ready for the shop.

Yes. Our table tops and DIY countertops are solid hardwood, sanded and ready for you to stain and finish your way. We also sell steel C-channel to keep a solid top flat on its base. The current lead time is listed on each product page.

Everyone. Whether you're a weekend woodworker or run a small shop, you can buy wood and book shop services with us.

Yes. Live edge slabs ship anywhere in Canada for a flat $150. Shipping on other items is shown at checkout or quoted with your order.
