Solid Red Beech Stump Slab – 198 × 108 × 5.5 cm

Rare NZ Native Hardwood | RRP $2,000+ | Clearance Price

This hard-to-find solid Red Beech stump slab was originally sourced from a certified South Island supplier for a premium hardwood project around 10 years ago. It served as a feature display in our showroom, with both sides already sanded and oiled — ready to be re-polished or finished to your own design.

Perfect for use as a coffee table, wall art, benchtop, or sculptural live-edge showpiece.

Condition & Drying

This slab was stored in a shipping container for the past 5 years (since the start of Covid) and has recently been washed. It requires re-drying before being used in any fine woodworking projects. Optional kiln drying to 10–12% moisture content is available for $150.

Specifications: * Length: 198 cm * Width: 108 cm (natural edge) * Thickness: 5.5 cm * Weight: Approx. 90 kg * Condition: Surface sanded and oiled; needs re-drying
