I have been around construction all my life and have seen the waste from unused materials at the end of a job. I have seen old dumps where old cans lay in a rusted heap. I have seen farmers and ranchers clear land of all sorts of vegetation. They pile it up and burn it or haul it to a landfill. It is my goal to use as much of this wasted "fiber" as I can.
You all know about the compost, the shredding, chipping, burning of wood. But here you will find ways to make household decor, yard decor, gifts, and items you can actually sell at any show, farmers market or on the web.
If you find the creation of such things speaks to your heart then you may be interested in more elaborate projects such as table, chairs, shelves, birdhouses, magazine racks, and photo frames. If you would like a peek at what I do with unwanted vegetation and wood scraps please see my creations at www.riverbottomfurniture.com and at www.riverbottomcrafts.com .
Here are some other links that you might find interesting. Each one is about saving, preserving, and recycling in one way or another. I hope you have enjoyed this website and I would love to hear from you.
