Slab Flattening Demonstration

Have you been curious about how to flatten rough-sawn live edge slabs so you can make your own coffee tables? Join master craftsman Steven Tiller at the Urban Wood Rescue lumber yard for demonstration techniques for flattening live edge slabs using a router sled and jig. He’ll talk through the tools and equipment you might need to build your own flattening table and sled.

Urban Wood Rescue, the newest program of the Sacramento Tree Foundation, is on a mission to keep urban trees out of the landfill, support a sustainable, local, urban lumber industry, and provide both education and lumber to seasoned artisans and beginners alike.

The proceeds of the Urban Wood Rescue program go to support the Tree Foundation’s tree-planting, education, reforestation, and neighborhood programs, supporting the healthy future of Sacramento’s communities and its urban forest.
