Well I think have another solution for urban tree salvage that any home owner can do if they are able to use a chainsaw. This was my case when Hurricane Juan came through in 2003 . I designed and built several tools for milling the fallen tree where it lay. Today 2009 we have 99 % of our own home furniture, out door furniture including a gazebo and last we now have beveled wood siding for our home. This all done with a set of simple to use chainsaw tools I designed. Most of us like to do something about a greener planet these days .

It's depressing when I think that people who waste so much wood in construction negate any of the efforts made by people who are so avid about reducing consumption like I do.

I try to buy salvaged wood for my projects whenever I can. I have read that deforestation is the number one cause of the hole in the ozone layer.
