I was toying with the thought of making a dinning room table out of a single solid slab of cedar. I'd like it to be about 72"x48"x4".
I assume it would have to be western red cedar and I do dream of it being one piece not multiple pieces glued up.

Can anyone give me a rough estimate of what they figure a cedar slab that size would cost me?

Thanks,

Don't know where you are located but I saw a shop in NC, I think
Waynesville, that had a number of finished slabs for sale. They were
beautifully finished. Big and small. Some were made into tables and
some were wall pieces. This was last May and if I remember correctly
almost all the pieces came from the Northern CA area and above and
were driftwood salvage. They were shipped in as large tree pieces and
cut in a local shop.

Beautiful work and priced accordingly.


Thanks very much for the help Swalker. I'm in Ottawa Ontario.
