Wood and Art

[Asssiss]

In Brazil you can always find wood at garbage (near construction or refurbushed homes).
Look these pair of bench legs (one is already cuted)
Iron Wood ...in Brazil we call Pau Ferro (Libidibia ferrea)
One more bird

It is not easy to find more wood to save the bench legs

How they glued

You can see the line where they glued two parts.Almost tangent the hole

Less visible this side

A bird can be nice at this wood

We can find the wood, but usually we are not allowed to remove from the dump site.

Here the dumpster is in front of home for easy acess for truck...you can choose and carry.
When is inside the property you ask permission and carry too ...if someone say no means that wood is not for you...find the next.

In some places the owner of dumpster know about quality wood and collect it for free (and sell expensive after).

That we had about 10 years back. I knew a local who worked at the dump. We couldn't collect from it, but the workers could. He ran a second hand furniture store out of what he found thrown away. No hard feelings for him, actually wish they would do that more. Save some room in our landfills if more people could do this.
