Live Edge Kiln Dried Wood
Premium Kiln-Dried Slabs – Ready for Your Next Project
At The Slab Source of the South, we specialize in kiln-drying hardwood slabs to ensure they’re stable, clean, and ready for woodworking right out of the shop. Every slab in our inventory is dried to under 12% moisture content, making them ideal for indoor furniture, epoxy pours, and custom builds.
If you’re looking for slabs that are ready to finish, you’ve come to the right place. We do the drying — so you don’t have to.
Why Kiln-Dried Slabs?
Every Size, Shape & Color
- ✅ Stable & Crack-Resistant: Our slabs are dried slowly and evenly to reduce warping and checking.
- ✅ No Bugs, Mold, or Decay: The kiln eliminates pests, fungal spores, and soft spots.
- ✅ Finish-Ready: Whether you’re building a dining table, bar top, or mantel, our slabs are ready to plane, sand, and coat.
- ✅ Ideal for Epoxy Projects: Dry slabs ensure proper resin bonding and reduce air bubbles or curing issues.
What We Dry
Hand-Select and Dry Southern Hardwoods
Our most popular kiln-dried slabs include:

All slabs are air-dried first, then finished in a
