This bench was made from 100% recycled wood and being green at Wooden Treasures is my main objective. The trees it was made from were bulldozed down to clear room for a new building on CNM property. Two of the trees that would have been incinerated were air dried for over 1.5 years. After the moisture content was below 15% the tree trunks were tilled down and sized. This piece contains over 250 parts and weighs ½ ton. The corners are solid square logs wrapped in a milled wood that has been angled and planed. It has a marine grade finish. This is so it can stand up to the NM sun and heat. This piece of art is on display at The Library on CNMs main campus.
