Wood is one of my favorite elements to use in just about any space. Its fantastic natural texture, versatility, and warmth can fill the void in spaces lacking character and dimension. There are many ways to incorporate wood into a space. One way that is particularly rustic in character is a wood slab.
Wood slabs are pieces of wood that retain a very natural shape and grain. Each one is different and unique, making them a great conversation piece for your home. They come in all different sizes and can be used in many creative ways, though the most popular are as countertops and tables. Check out these 10 beautiful wood slabs in the home…
