Pay for your project—not the extra.

Why pay for a full slab when your project only needs part of it? At CS Woods, we’re rethinking how you buy wood. For many projects—tables, countertops, and more—we’re happy to cut slabs to your rough size. If the remaining piece (the drop) is something we can resell, you won’t be charged for it. It’s a smarter, more efficient way to build—one that respects both your budget and the material.
This is a case-by-case offering, based on the size and usability of the cutoff, but when it works, it’s a game changer. Most suppliers won’t even consider it. We will. It means you get the exact slab you need—nothing more, nothing wasted—while we find a future for the rest.
If you’ve been holding off on a project because the slab felt just a little too big (or too expensive), this might be your moment. Let’s size it right and make it happen.

We’re excited to be featured in Avid Lifestyle Magazine highlighting one of our favorite ways to transform a kitchen: a custom wood island extension.

Adding a solid wood extension—especially from a single, carefully selected slab—brings warmth, function, and a natural focal point into the heart of your home. It’s the perfect blend of beauty and utility, creating a space for gathering, dining, working, and everyday living. Whether paired with stone surfaces or integrated into existing cabinetry, a live edge or clean cut wood extension adds depth, texture, and a truly custom feel.

At CS Woods, we offer a wide selection of Rocky Mountain Kiln Dry slabs that are ready to be crafted into stunning kitchen features. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your space, this is a great place to start.

Stop by our Denver warehouse to explore options and bring your vision to life.

We tried rulers. We tried tape measures. But nothing really captures the size of these slabs like a strategically placed banana.

Zoom out…
…keep going…
…still going…
…and suddenly that “little” slab is actually a massive, table-top-ready beast 😳

If you’ve ever wondered how big these slabs really are—this is your sign. Come see them in person (banana optional).

Stop by CS Woods and experience the scale for yourself.

From neighborhood tree → future slab furniture

This one started local. A tree that had to come down—removed for the right reasons—and given a second life the right way. Watch the drop as the logs roll out of the truck (you’ll feel it), then the crew steps in: forklift precision, careful placement, clean-up, reload, and on to the mill.

These logs are alive with moisture—sap flowing, fibers fresh—and that’s exactly where great slabs begin. From here: milling → kiln drying → back to CS Woods in Denver, ready to become tables, bar tops, and one-of-a-kind pieces with a Colorado story behind them.

We’re selective with local sourcing, and this one checked every box—responsible removal, strong relationships, and great material.
