Wood Slabs in London

At Elephant Timber, we provide a wide selection of large wood slabs for customers based in London and the surrounding areas. Our collection features stunning wood slabs sourced from sustainably managed forests, bringing the beauty of nature directly into your home or workspace. With a rich urban landscape and a thriving woodworking community, London is the perfect place to explore the unique charm of live edge hardwood slabs.

London’s connection to woodworking and craftsmanship is deeply rooted in its history, making it a vibrant hub for timber enthusiasts and furniture makers. The city is home to a variety of woodworking shops, artisan markets and cultural spaces that celebrate the art of timber. Here are some notable places that reflect London’s dedication to wood and craftsmanship:

• The Building Centre – a hub located in central London, which showcases innovative designs and sustainable materials, including timber. It is a great place to explore new trends in woodworking and sustainable design.
• Dulwich Upper Wood – is a lovely ancient woodland that offers a peaceful retreat in the city. It showcases the beauty of natural landscapes and the importance of urban forestry.
• The London School of Furniture Making – provides a variety of courses covering essential skills from joinery to furniture design. Classes are designed for both beginners and seasoned craftsmen and offer a vibrant community for woodworking enthusiasts of all levels.

A live edge wood slab retains the natural edge of the wood, preserving the unique curves, knots and imperfections that make each piece special. Unlike conventional wood slabs that are cut to uniform shapes, these wood slabs celebrate the organic forms of the tree, providing character and individuality to your projects. Our hardwood slabs are kiln-dried to remove moisture, ensuring stability and preventing warping, cracking, or splitting over time.

Uses for wood slabs include bespoke furniture, such as dining tables, coffee tables, desks and side tables, or the creation of beautiful shelves or floating shelves that showcase the natural beauty of the wood. You could also add a touch of elegance to your kitchen or bar area with unique countertops that highlight the wood’s character. Or, perhaps enhance your living space with custom mantels and surrounds that bring warmth and charm.
