Contrary to popular belief, Wane + Flitch are NOT the last names of two people. These are wood terms that apply to the type of wood cut we use to make custom, live edge wood furniture and built-in surfaces. Wane is a lumber term for the natural live edge of the slab. Flitch is the lumber term for the cut that creates the slab after milling.
We are an urban sawmill and woodshop specialized in working with locally-salvaged live edge wood slabs. We process trees into custom furniture all under one roof. As a sawmill, we acquire salvaged logs, mill them into slabs, and dry slabs in our on-site vacuum kiln. We offer live edge wood slabs for sale to the public in addition to selling a variety of tools and supplies for DIYers (do-it-yourself).
We can design and construct just about anything a solid wood slab can be used for - with or without a live edge according to the customer’s preference (i.e. large conference and dining tables, small occasional tables, console tables, eating bars, decorative wall caps, mantles and hearths, floating shelves, vanity tops, stair treads, islands and counters, back bars, and much, much more!)
If live edge wood is not a part of your project, we also work with other wood types such as dimensional lumber, plywood, engineered wood, etc. Our custom woodshop can build all types of architectural furnishings such as millwork, faux beams, cabinets, etc. Contact us for a quote!

All of our materials are locally sourced from commercial and residential sites all over Western Washington. We get contacted by homeowners, developers, and contractors clearing trees for reasons including but not limited to safety, storm damage, building infringement, disease, and new developments. We do not poach trees. We take pride in providing salvaged trees a second life and a new home.
Because we only work with trees that are salvaged locally, we carry wood species that are native to the area. These species include Douglas Fir, Old Growth Fir, Sequoia, Big Leaf Maple, Silver Maple, Madrone/Madrona, Black Walnut, English Walnut, American Elm, White Oak, Beech, Poplar, Cedar, Ash, and Cherry.
We do not carry exotic species such as Indian Rosewood, Monkey Pod, Suar, Ipe, Purpleheart, Tigerwood, Bamboo, Ebony, Jarrah, Acacia or any other wood species that are not commonly found in the western Washington region.
Our live edge wood slabs range from all sizes and shapes.
-The standard thickness of most of our slabs are rough sawn at 2.25"-3" thick.
-We carry a limited selection of mantel stock ranging from 4"-6" thick.
-Our wood rounds/cookies vary from 36"-60" in diameter.
-Dimensions of slabs with both live edges range anywhere from 16"-74" wide and 24"-300" long.
-Our "Bargain Bin" pieces are composed of smaller wood pieces best for beginner and small projects.
When slabs are machined-flat, they will vary from 1.75"-2.25" depending on the slabs flatness and starting thickness.
Our dimensional lumber offerings range from 8-12 ft, 6-10" wide, and 1-2" thick. For slabs outside of that range, please contact us for availability.

When an air-drying slab is purchased/approved, we will get them loaded into our next available kiln-cycle.

For acquisition, please contact Jon via phone (253) 332-0275 or email jon@waneandflitch.com with photos, dimensions, quantity, location, and any other relevant information about the tree. Jon will get back to you about whether or not we would be interested in the material. Approval for acquiring trees is based on a number of factors such as quality, demand, size, etc. Arrangements must be made by the seller to have materials transported to our site during a scheduled date/time upon approval.
We do not offer tree cutting services. We can refer you to companies that we have worked with in the past.
We can, but there are things to consider when doing so. We will refuse to work with the material if it is rotted, unusable, or other misc. reasons that may cause setbacks in production and handling. If the material is approved for the project, service fees can apply if milling, kiln drying, surfacing, and/or other services are performed. Note that using customer-supplied material will extend the timeline of the project if additional services are needed.
We can surface or plane down your project if there is epoxy in it. We often surface down epoxy river projects for our customers. Whether you under pour or over pour, we can do our best to get the entire surface flat. Keep in mind, there may be tear out that needs to be refilled, pin holes that get revealed, and markings from the surfacer to be sanded down. Please use our surfacing calculator for pricing epoxy projects.
We can do custom milling for mantels, rounds/cookies, dimensional lumber, and/or slabs. There are limitations to the materials we can mill. Please email us at info@waneandflitch.com for more information about milling your material(s). Depending on the size, some materials may not be best suited to be milled by us.
For our online products, shipping rates will apply. For in-store purchases on wood slabs and custom projects, shipping and delivery options are available. Shipping rates will be determined based on the total size, weight, location, and carrier used for the product(s). Local delivery within 50 miles of 98404 is a $500 flat rate. Rates are subject to change. Consult with us about updated rates for delivery.
Current lead times for kiln drying vary throughout the year. Because of the way certain wood species dry, they can take anywhere from 3-12 weeks to finish drying once it is loaded in the kiln. The queue to get the materials to start drying in the kiln can vary from 4-8 weeks. Please view our kiln drying page for updated lead times. We highly recommend that slabs are air dried after milling for 6-12 months before loading into the kiln.
We do not have the capability to resaw wood yet. We can however surface a slab down to a desired thickness.
Cutting fees apply.
We can, it is under the same fee as surfacing. Please use our calculator for surfacing rates.
