Buying Old-Growth Sequoia: What You Need to Know
💲 How is pricing calculated?
We price slabs by board foot, which factors in the slab’s length, width, and thickness. Additional pricing considerations include:
- Grain quality and figure
- Size and rarity
- Drying method (kiln-dried vs. air-dried)
- Surface preparation
Most slabs range from $25–$45 per board foot, with Legacy pieces priced higher.
🔥 What’s the difference between kiln-dried and air-dried?
- Kiln-Dried slabs are professionally dried to 6–12% moisture. They're ready to build and highly stable.
- Air-Dried slabs are naturally seasoned but may need more time or finish prep, depending on your project.
