As a wood lover I am impressed by the place i just discovered. It has a big collection of live edge slabs, each piece is unique and magical. The people there are friendly and knowledgeable, we are going to do our first diy project - a coffee table with their kind advice. Admire the large tables they make, definitely will visit again.
We knew we wanted a “beast” of a live edge slab table for our family. One that would, hopefully, be around long after we are gone from this earth. We patiently waited for the “right one” to come along. After speaking with several sources to find the perfect slab, we found “ the one” with Mike at American Wood Importers. We never once felt pushed to buy. Instead found ourselves being educated by Mike about the wood, the process and the craftsmanship involved in bringing these beautiful, one of a kind pieces to life. On top of all of it, he was fun to talk to - we could’ve stayed all day! Such a down to earth group of people - you’d never know they are sought after internationally!
I got a 4x7 foot slab flattened and everyone was extremely friendly! Loved the shop and prices are very reasonable. Will be back!
I ordered a gift for my groomsmen for my wedding and they for excited my expectations. They did everything I asked and will recommend them to anyone!
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!Great Customer Service. I will be a repeat customer!
The American Wood Importers team is awesome! These guys know their stuff, and know customer service!! I had a slab shipped to Arizona, but I didnt have a place to put store it right away as I was in the middle of moving my shop. Luckily it was no problem for Mike. He set up a later shipping date and it arrived on time and more beautiful than I imagined!! I will definitely be doing more business with this company.
My mom is remodeling her house in Utah and wanted a live edge slab for one of the rooms. So when she was in town last weekend we went by American wood importers to see what they had available. When we arrived the sign on the office said closed but the roll-up door was open. As she was only in town for the weekend we poked our head in the roll up door and asked if it would be possible to look around. DJ the gentleman working in the shop told us Mike the owner was running an errand but he would be happy to show us around. DJ was great, he gave us the quick tour to give us an idea of what they had. Then he asked us specifics about what we were looking for. After talking with my mom he knew just the right piece. Unfortunately getting the piece required him to re-arrange quite a bit of the stock in the shop, which he happily did all while explaining how they acquire their wood. When he got to the piece it was exactly what we were looking for. After finding the slab Mike returned to the shop and took us to his office, he went into more depth about the process by which they acquire their product. He then helped us with milling and finish options for the final product. All at very reasonable price. This review is lengthy but I was very impressed by both DJ and Mikes dedication to their client. It is rare to find this type of customer service anymore and just wanted to recognize both their efforts. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for wood for any project they have make this their first stop. Give Mike and DJ a chance to earn your business and you won’t be disappointed!
It doesnt take long to realize that Mike (owner) cares more about his customers than he does making money. Super helpful, personable and easy to work with. I will continue doing business with these guys
I would highly recommend coming here for all your epoxy and wood slab needs. I didn’t spend much time looking around but the variety I saw just in the time I was there was awesome! Mike and all of the staff were very welcoming and very friendly.
Mike helped me out with my first project and this man was the biggest help I can ask for. Great guy with amazing prices and beautiful wood. Very knowledgeable, Amazing customer service and communication with his customer. Thankyou! DJ does excellent work and is also super knowledgeable about epoxy. great people! Definitely recommend checking out if you never have.
I have ordered from these American Wood Importers on multiple occasions and every time the experience has been exceptional. The service is friendly and professional and they have gone out of their way to ensure that I receive my resin in a timely matter when I have a job with a pressing deadline. I can’t recommend these guys enough.
Mike and his company were amazing to deal with. I am a novice and they were so patient with me as I learn the many products they carry. They make you feel like family. I highly recommend them.

Where do I begin... I own a small woodworking business and have been going place to place looking for nice slabs to make tables. I found American Wood Importers on Instagram and decided to go check it out. Dj welcomed me and gave me a tour of the facilities. I was in pure awe! It’s like a fantasy play house. I met Mike later and he was just as welcoming. He took time out of his day to teach me about different species of wood. They are very knowledgeable and people persons. Long story short, I will be going to American Wood Importers for wood and epoxy! They also have a welder Remond on which is pretty convenient to finish the base of any project. Thanks again guys.
They have beautiful slabs of wood, and I was very lucky to be introduced to Mike and his team. Not only did Mike listened to what I was specifically looking for but he gave me different options to choose from. I could immediately see the passion these people have for their craft and it definitely shows thru their work. I am extremely happy with my one of a kind dining table and love the fact that nobody else has the same exact one. By the way they also surprised me with a beautiful bench using the straps of my slab!
Was very impressed not only by the selection of live edge he had on hand, and the selection of wood that could be brought in specially to accomodate my requirements. Spoke to the owner, Mike, who was very helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend to anybody and everybody
Mike and the Team at American Wood Importers have been extremely helpful in finding my company just the right slabs for my clients. Their customer service is top notch. Looking forward to working with them more in the future!
Called just before Christmas to get some epoxy and they went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of before the holiday weekend. We live in an age where customer service is few and far between. So glad to see that there are still companies who value their customers. Thanks.
If you’re looking for beautiful live edge slabs of wood for projects, American Wood Importers is the ONLY place to go! I searched tirelessly in the city I live in, Denver, and couldn’t find a single slab that had double live edges that was over 9” tall that was reasonably priced so I took my search to the Internet and found American Wood Importers. I gave the shop a call and spoke directly to the owner Mike! He’s such a personable dude and we spoke for 45 minutes about what I was looking for. Mike invited me to his Google docs where I could see hundreds of pictures of slabs with accurate pricing and availability that were shipping from Costa Rica that month. The slab arrived in LA a few weeks later and they got to work. After flattening the slab, they Facetimed me so I could show them were I wanted the slab to be cut (9’5” ft fits perfectly in my dining room)! What’s great about this company is they have the ability to ship consumers raw slabs or do epoxy and finish work at any stage the costumer wishes. I Facetimed Mike multiple times throughout the process to see progress and he even went ABOVE AND BEYOND to UPS me the extra cut pieces so my boyfriend and I can make a floating shelf out of the 6” they cut off. Mike and his company are the BEST IN THE BUSINESS and I would recommend them alllll day long!
Great company, thanks!
Excellent service
