Monkey pod October 6, 2010
This is the wood that grows in our neighborhoods. I think it’s common when talking about building furniture with recycled or sustainable wood to instantly think of coconut palm or bamboo. That stuff is neat, but it all comes from the other side of the planet. I’m building with wood from Pinellas County.

indian rosewood dining table.. Locally harvested urban timber September 16, 2010
Shade trees are all over town. Shade is good, whether its in the front yard, a parking lot, or a park. Trees that grow in the urban environment eventually all wind up at the city brush site. Any resident can go there and take unlimited quantities of firewood, free. Unlimited quanitity of mulch, free. Firewood and mulch might be a good end use for alot of the timber in our neighborhoods, but have a look at at the table I made out of Indian rosewood. the tree was cut down from a parking lot at a nearby buisness. It had been hit by lightning, and was dropping all kinds of junk on the cars below it, so it had to go. It came very close to the mulch grinder, but this time we won.
