Our reader harvested a tree marked for removal in order to provide the lumber for his woodworking project.

I personally felled the walnut trees for this armoire (photo at right) during a restoration project of the historic Morris Canal, which connected Easton, Pennsylvania, to Jersey City, New Jersey. They were growing in the prism of the canal and had to go. The trees were milled on a local thin-kerf band saw to minimize waste and air dried in my shop for three years. My shop is heated exclusively by a wood stove. How's that for green?

Please continue the discussion of this important subject. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to find Forest Stewardship Council hardwoods in my area (Suffolk County, New York) and would really like to see an ongoing discussion of tools, techniques and use of wood which are

environmentally friendly. The survey only shows mixed concern on the part of those surveyed, but if you were to really engage this issue with information and practical suggestions, many more of us would make a real effort to "work green."
