I saw this on Facebook.

Reutilizing wood from urban trees--it's possible. Check out what Penn State University is doing:

Thats pretty cool , most of the time we slice it for the art students, sell them the logs. Recently heard a chainsaw carver is going to carve up some logs try to get pics.

ya I thought the same thing 1 grand for a simple looking desk. A little pricey but the Alumni will pay for it.

I have a trailer load of logs that are going to the sawyer Monday. Each is marked when and where it is removed.

Seems that the alumni and benefactors like to buy the mementos and give them to each other.
