How to Flatten Live Edge Slabs with a Sawmill

In this video we use our Woodland Mills HM130Max Portable Sawmill to flatten live edge slabs.

It can be a challenge when starting a woodworking project using slabs. They tend to bend and bow during the drying process. Using a bandsaw mill makes quick work of flattening slabs before beginning the sanding process.

Using a router sled is a messy process but can be used to flatten live edge if you've got the space. Alternatively, if you have access to a bandsaw mill, it is a fine tool for flatten slabs to a workable level.

With the popularity of lived edge slabs and at-home work working enthusiast, I'm thrilled to share this method.

Thanks for watching!
