Wood Project
If you have ever done a wood project I’m sure at one point or another you’ve had wood left over. Pieces of wood that you can’t seem to find a use for, piling up in your garage or yard. This is because wood does not decompose into the ground like leaves, twigs, or tree trunks. Taking the advice of a local termite expert, I have found many ways to slowly rid myself of the pile. Rather than leaving these to become a fire hazard or an invitation to termites or other wood-destroying insects, recycle them into something useful or beautiful!
Don’t let wood scraps go to waste! There are plenty of wood recycling ideas and wood projects to use your leftover wood. Here is a list of some great wood recycling projects:
