Wood-Revival Launched
Wood-Revival , an e-mail list begun earlier this year gives
you the latest information on when and where to get salvaged
lumber. This free service for architects and builders is
sponsored by Materials for the Future Foundation, the Center
for Economic Conversion, and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 9. Subscribers will receive
information via e-mail about high quality wood (e.g., old
growth Douglas fir and redwood) that is being salvaged,
primarily from closing military bases throughout the Bay
Area. Announcements will include the types and dimensions of
wood available, where and when you can purchase it, and
contact names and phone numbers for further information. In
addition, the service will post technical information on the
performance of salvaged wood, occasionally survey
subscribers about their experience with the wood, and allow
subscribers to share relevant information.
To obtain subscription instructions, background
information on this project, or information on salvaged
lumber, please contact Maria Sanders, marias@igc.org
