Live Edge Wood Slab Business For Sale – Woodworking Business Opportunity • $170K Inventory & Equipment Established live edge wood slab business operating from the same Sonoma County location for 7 years. Rare opportunity to acquire substantial inventory, equipment, advertising infrastructure, supplier relationships, and proven operating systems already in place.
Included in the sale is approximately $100,000 wholesale value of dry live edge slab inventory. One of the biggest challenges in this industry is sourcing, transporting, storing, and drying material. Much of the inventory has been drying for years and is ready for immediate sale or furniture production.
A new owner can begin operating immediately without spending years building inventory. The business includes a custom-built 8’ x 24.5’ slab surfacing machine, one of the largest of its kind.
The machine is capable of planing and sanding large slabs and beams and features a 5.5hp motor with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), allowing speed and direction control while converting 3-phase power to 220v operation. Includes extra cutter heads, replacement teeth, sanding heads, and industrial sanding supplies.
Also included: binders, straps, and transport equipment The business currently operates from an approximately 1,200-square-foot shop with additional storage. The landlord is supportive of a new owner continuing operations at the current location. Over the years, the business has generated thousands of slab sales and built strong local recognition.
Many customers know the business through its highway visibility, advertising trailers, referrals, repeat business, social media presence, and Google Business Profile with 154 all five-star reviews. Significant growth opportunities exist for a buyer interested in expanding beyond slab sales. The current owner primarily focuses on retail slab sales and regularly refers custom furniture projects to other woodworkers.
A buyer with woodworking experience could capture additional revenue by offering finished tables, countertops, mantels, shelving, desks, conference tables, and other custom furniture projects. Growth opportunities include online sales, contractor relationships, commercial projects, delivery services, and social media marketing. The business benefits from established supplier relationships that continue to provide access to additional inventory as demand grows.
Competition is limited by the substantial capital, equipment, storage space, inventory, transportation resources, and years of drying time required to build a comparable operation. Comprehensive training will be provided covering slab sales, pricing, customer interactions, inventory management, machine operation, processing techniques, equipment maintenance, marketing, and sales methodology developed through 10 years of industry experience. Introductions to suppliers, vendors, industry contacts, and local business relationships will be provided to help ensure a smooth transition.
The business is fully equipped and ready for a smooth transition. Years of investment in inventory, equipment, supplier relationships, advertising infrastructure, and local market recognition allow a new owner to begin operating immediately instead of spending years building a similar operation from scratch. I am committed to helping the new owner succeed and am available for a generous transition period after closing.
