Timber Slabs
At The Timber Slab Warehouse we have a massive range of kiln dried slabs, off cuts, cross cuts and burls. We have new stock coming in every few days and we can bring in specific sized slabs for you if its not in our warehouse. We literally have hundreds of slabs in our warehouse and thousands more at our kiln site.
When you come into our warehouse you will find
- A pallet filled with hundreds of camphor laurel off cuts all kiln dried and thicknessed – prices starting from $5
- A pallet of kiln dried camphor laurel crosscuts
- Large burls – all kiln dried and dressed top and bottom
- Three racks full of 30mm thick camphor laurel slabs. These generally are between 1-4 metres long and around 200-450mm wide
- A stock room full of resins, pigments and timber coatings such as Rubio Monocoat, Osmo Oils and polyurethanes.
- The rest of our shed is filled with larger, thicker kiln dried slabs. These are generally 1-5 metres long and 300mm – 1000mm wide. These slabs are levelled and dressed top and bottom. Some slabs are resin filled or completely finished ready to install. These slabs start at 60mm thick but end up around 40-50mm thick after levelling and dressing.

What can we do for you? We can sell you a kiln dried slab or a completely finished product or anything in between. We specialise in custom made benchtops and tables, resin tops and tables and more but we can also help you get started on your own timber project by supplying you with quality, kiln dried timber and products you need to finish the job.
What steps do we follow to completely finish a slab? After the slabs are kiln dried we
- Select the slab needed for the job
- Level and dress top and bottom
- Cut to size
- Fit C Channels if required
- Fill any defects and sand in preparation for coating
- Apply coating (Rubio Monocoat, Osmo or three generous coats of marine grade polyurethane)
All our slabs are KILN DRIED – We WONT sell you a slab unless it is kiln dried
The KILN DRYING PROCESS and BENEFITS
- We dry up to 100 cubic metres of timber at a time using a kiln powered by solar but with a gas and electricity backup
- 35mm thick slabs take six weeks to dry properly and 60mm thick slabs take 6 months
- Kiln drying kills borers
- Kiln drying helps to stabilise your timber and helps to prevent it from splitting, warping, twisting, bowing etc.
- PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SLABS THAT ARE NOT KILN DRIED
PLEASE NOTE – If you are travelling a long distance and / or you want specific sized slabs, let us know before you come and we can give you a price and make sure we have them available for you in the warehouse before you come.
