CNC & Fabrication

Get the part or surface your project needs

You may need a slab flattened, a set of profiles cut, an engraved design or fabrication help for a larger build. SHB offers CNC capability with hands-on shop work around it.

A large live-edge wood slab on the CNC bed during surface preparation. — Slab flattening creates a workable starting surface.

Ways we can help

Slab and panel flattening: Prepare a workable surface on wood or suitable wood-and-epoxy projects.
Profile cutting and parts: Discuss shapes, dimensions, material and quantity for your project.
Engraving: Develop and review the design before the carving stage.
Fabrication and finishing: Work through the preparation, assembly or finishing steps that belong in the agreed scope.

Two rough live-edge slab sections with dark weathered faces positioned on the CNC bed before surfacing. — Before surfacing: the weathered face hides much of the grain.

The same live-edge slab sections after surfacing, with pale grain exposed and the natural central opening retained. — After surfacing: the grain is visible and the slab’s natural outline remains.

The CNC router positioned over a multi-species patterned wooden panel on the machine bed. — Surface preparation on a patterned wood workpiece.

Nested circular parts cut from a sheet on the CNC table. — Repeatable parts planned together on a sheet.

Profiled sheet parts, ready for their next stage.

Long wood boards clamped side by side into a wide panel on the workshop floor. — Preparing a wide panel before shaping it into a round top.
