Planing service near Greensboro?

[Paul Linden]

Hey Folks - just discovered and joined this site today and pretty much just starting on some woodworking projects. I had a nice red oak in the yard that we had to take down, but had some milled into slabs as I couldn't bear to see it all chopped into firewood. Now I have about 15 pieces all about 2-3" thick, up to 24" wide x 10' long that have air dried, but need planing. Any suggestions on where I might get that done near GSO?

Welcome to the site, Paul. Your best option is to contact Scott Smith, a member here, who operates a business specializing in rad and white oak products at his farm in New Hill, about 45 minutes from GSO. Check out his website at We specialize in Quarter and Rift sawn Oak Lumber, including wide boards! We ship nationwide. - Quartersawnoak.com for contact information. He has equipment that can handle your slabs.
