Home to coastal plains, rich fields of tobacco, tales of piracy and early settlement, Raleigh Slabs began their journey in Bath, the oldest city in North Carolina. Surrounded by history, natural resources, and ideas of a distant time, Raleigh Slabs developed an interest in reclaiming wood from the old barns and structures of Bath, some dating back to the early 1800s. 


After a trip to Northern California, an admiration for the history of the Redwood was formed—the wonder of its story, age, and scale created an instant connection. This connection informs the importance of design standards, cultivation, and craft at Raleigh Slabs. Every Redwood is responsibly reclaimed and helps to foster a mission to preserve these trees through beautiful design. The devotion to conservation and quality helps Raleigh Slabs carry on the history of each Redwood.
