Description: Achieve maximum visual impact by using Live Edge Joinery for natural wood slabs by eliminating a typical straight glue line that disrupts natural flow of wood's vibrant grain patterns. Live Edge Slabs joined with the process shown in this video can be use for any project from the cabinet doors shown here to tables, bar tops... pretty much anything! Since there's plenty of videos out there for making cabinet doors I don't go into that process in this video but focus on the method I use for joining 2 sequentially matched 18~20 inch wide elm slabs into one uber-wide slab which got cut into the 4 individual doors shown in the video thumbnail. Here's that Amazon Influencer's tool list I mentioned in case you need something to make a live edge joint that you don't have and can't find it locally: amazon.com/shop/nextlevelcarpentry?listId=2U7HQPIAHXKIR&ref=idea_share_inf Note that purchases made through these links are the same low online cost to you but Amazon pays small ad fees to Next Level Carpentry and I really appreciate it! Don't forget the exclusive 15% Discount Code for viewers of Next Level Carpentry. Use code NLC at checkout for 15% off any and all of the excellent Starbond CA glue products I use and recommend! bit.ly/3DzbHpj and tell 'em I sent you! Official NLC teeshirts, posters, mugs and stickers are available through Teespring here: teespring.com/stores/next-level-carpentry-swag-shop where sales generate small profits which help support video production too... thanks! Here's a link to Collector's Specialty Woods in Denver: cswoods.com If you follow that link, be prepared to be amazed. If you ever have opportunity to visit CS Woods warehouse/showroom, be prepared to be utterly amazed! In addition to an eye-popping, mind boggling inventory of gorgeous wood slabs of every species and on a grand scale, everyone I encountered in the business from the owner to warehouse/sales staff were as enthusiastic as they are knowledgeable about wood. They were well able to dial in to what I was looking for to the extent that I felt each person felt a bit of 'ownership' of the project and worked to make this Live Edge Joinery project happen. However you interact with this next level business I hope you'll tell them you learned about CS Woods on Next Level Carpentry.  Since you can watch all the great videos uploaded to the Next Level Carpentry Channel here on YouTube for free, those who find enough value here to become patrons through Patreon are a special group of viewers. I work to show my appreciation to those who go above and beyond to support the channel by producing a library of 'patron only' videos. These videos are a peek behind the scenes and often include extra tips, tricks and insight into projects from my YouTube videos. They're a bit less formal, kind of like hanging out in the shop or on a jobsite. If this interests you check into becoming a patron here: patreon.com/NextLevelCarpentry and you'll have access to those videos and your name should show up in the Patreon Appreciation segment of videos on YouTube.
