What is the foundational step of a great joining? We are glad you asked. Blue Snow joins multiple slabs or slabs and lumber together on a weekly basis. Our craftsmen make a couple passes to cut through the slabs (so they do not go through blades too fast), and then they make a couple more passes to confirm the cut is completely clean. If you do not make additional passes with your saw, there will be slight lines from where you made those initial cuts. Those lines will cause gaps when you try to join your materials. Want to see our joining craftsmanship in person? Come by our showroom at 457 Ash Rd., Kalispell.

No, this list is not completely extensive. Yes, if on the off chance we haven't done what you need, our team will figure out how to. Have more questions for us?

Our beautiful slabs and pieces all start out the same. So how do we pick sections of logs or the log itself? Collin decided to give you all a little insight into what to look for and what you need to get beautiful grain and great figure. What questions do you have about picking the right logs? Stay tuned to see the first bit of milling this beast of a log.

On first glance, Burl tables seem pretty straightforward, but burls often have a large amount of small cracks and voids that need to be stabilized with resin. The Blue Snow team went over these burls over the course of a couple days to be certain that every tiny void was properly taken care of. Our burls make beautiful bistro, coffee, and dining tables. Do you want to order a burl table? Contact us at [email protected] or reach out to us via our website bluesnowinc.com.

"Does the finish change the color of the slabs?" - this is one question our team gets asked on a regular basis. We use a clear finish that does not change the color of the slabs you like so much. The finish is multipurpose; it provides protection from minor scratches and scuffs and enriches color of the grain. The finish brings out all of the colors and nuances of the grain that is difficult to see in a raw slab. Have more questions? Come see us at 457 Ash Rd., Kalispell or email us at [email protected].

It's Friday!! Enjoy one of the resin pours going into this slab. This White Oak slab has a lot of cracks to fill with many of them being very small. In preparation of having the cover so much of the surface area with resin, our team shellaced the slab to prevent any of the resin dye from staining. Follow along to see this project completed!
