Don't get SCREWED buying slabs

[@sawdustwoman]

This is a great resource for those shopping at a lumberyard. It can be super intimidating when you’ve never gone. I like this style of video too! The drone shots are awesome.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you! That was the goal. To demystify buying slabs. And we will definitely do more videos like this!

[@ericerf6837]

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and experience. Even though I can’t mimic this, it fills holes in my understanding of a process.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I'm happy to share and help!

[@jackskalski3699]

thanks for the really nice video. Love the organic camera work someone doing the filming. The info is great. You've got quite a trailer there.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Appreciate the kind words!

Great video and great information. Thank for sharing, found it through your IG Broadcast channel. So took me some time to get to it, but don’t quit on the broadcast channel. Lol

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Well that's great! I'll share through there.

Great video Mike. I like the on-location feel and you had a lot of really good information you gave us. I love going on field trips...lol! I'm definitely away taking several things from this. Thanks buddy!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you for watching!

[@kevinb6102]

I like your videos. The information is always very clear and makes sense.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you so much for your support.

[@OscarMartinez-ss9zi]

Really good info Mike, I’ve never thought about taking a moisture reader before.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

It's a must when buying slabs! Glad it helped!

[@CoreyD76]

Great video Mike. I discovered Urban Wood rescue last summer and bought a couple English walnut slabs with beautiful figure.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

They have some great stuff!

[@Zamboni-0805]

Looking forward to seeing what you do with those slabs. BTW, I am a local follower in the Bay Area.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Awesome! Thank you for following! Making a dining table!

Great video, Mike. That was a lot of great, useful information!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I'm really glad it helped!

[@FrazerCanyonWoodworks]

This video is not getting the love it deserves. This was super helpful info.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you! I thought so too 🤣

[@johnbell1012]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheAmazingSpaghetti]

What moisture reading do you like to get before you get the wood? If it's not kiln dried, is that OK? I don't have a kiln, I got some air dried Copper Beech from a guy near me cause it was cheap and looked good, it's 12-16% currently, but not sure how to get it down to 6-10% without a kiln. Thanks

[@shughes599]

In relation to your awp comments I scrolled past this video because slabs are expensive and not in my wheel house.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Yeah that's a solid point and something we need to think about when making videos.

[@uncommonoutpost]

This is making me want to hunt down some English Elm.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I can send you some. No problem.
