6 ft 3 in Tulip Poplar Book-Matched Live-Edge Slab Set, 24 to 26 in wide, 2 1/4 in thick (POP-26-02-01 and 02)

A matched pair of tulip poplar slabs, sawn one after the other from the same log, so the grain mirrors itself when you open them like a book. Each slab is 6 ft 3 in long, 24 in wide at one end and 26 in at the other, 2 1/4 in thick, with bark on the edges. The top end of each slab forks, with bark running down into the seam, and slab 1 carries the center of the log, with checks running out from it on the end grain.
