"This book has everything you need to go from a beginner to expert when working with slabs. George is incredibly thorough, and this book has tons of knowledge that usually only comes with years of experience … This book is one of those things I wish I had when I got started working with slabs; it would have saved me lots of headaches and thousands of dollars from painstaking mistakes."
—John Malecki, YouTuber and woodworker
"This clear, concise book is peppered with plenty of helpful shop tricks. There's a project for every budget and skill set. The section on flattening slabs using a variety of methods alone makes this book a must-read for anyone working with live edge pieces."
—Anne Briggs, Anne of ALL Trades
