Wood, a natural marvel, has been a cornerstone of construction and craftsmanship throughout history. Despite its organic nature, wood has built-in defenses against pests and decay. 🌲 These defenses hold significant value for us at Cincinnati Dowel & Wood Products, where we specialize in dowel rods, wood plugs, and more. Read our recent blog to uncover the mechanisms behind wood's natural resistances and learn how this knowledge benefits both producers and consumers of wood products. 🛠️ You can find the full article at the link below! ⬇️ #Woodworking #Construction #CincinnatiDowel #WoodProducts #SustainableMaterials

A little snippet of the work going on at the first major log recovery in Ann Arbor as part of the first Urban Ashes' Circular UrbanWood Triconomy™ or CUT Model™. This particular log recovery is part of the oak wilt remediation project in Bird Hills, Ann Arbor. Bird Hills is the largest preserve in the city at 146 acres. It is beloved and highly utilized park with an extensive trail system throughout. Instead of leaving all of the felled logs in place as habitat snags, about 50 quality lumber grade logs are being salvaged and milled for utilization back into projects in the Ann Arbor Area. There will still be a good volume of other logs/branches remaining and distributed in the area for ongoing habitat snags and support to the forest ecosystem there. All parties in the the process have been extremely careful to not damage the remaining under-story non-invasive tree species. Allowing them to grow and to fill in the gap in the canopy. The parks department will continue to monitor the site to ensure that invasives do not take over the clearing. Through this partnership were able to salvage about 50 nice red oak logs to produce about 8000 board feet of lumber. This will continue to sequester about 6.35 metric tonnes of carbon. Strictly carbon speaking that equates to planting about 385 saplings and growing them for 10 years. Not insignificant numbers and data we provide back to the city in reports to be utilized in their A2Zero program, helping them meet their carbon goals. For more information on how Urban Ashes can help your municipality set up our CUT Model to help them reach their carbon goals, improve/diversify their local economy and increase their local material resource bank, please reach out to UA@UrbanAshes.com. https://lnkd.in/g67wEv_N

A story... I am with my Dad in South Florida, and my desk faces out this big picture window onto the lush greenery of the now-closed golf course. A tree died a few years back, and a big limb fell. The association cut the dead tree and removed the debris, except for the large limb that had already crashed to the ground. I have been watching one of the grounds caretakers use a golf cart to remove the remaining branches since the occurrence. He comes every Thursday, sorts the branches by size, stacks them within the two milk crates affixed to the back of the cart, and then creates creative structures to balance as many mid-size branches as possible. The largest are tied using a polypropylene rope to the back and dragged behind them. This gentleman's weekly effort on this task takes about 2 hours, and he has been doing this for many weeks. He is finally reaching the bottom of the pile of debris with about 1/3 of the branches left to remove. At this rate, the tree removal will be complete by the end of the year. The tools we use to accomplish a task are crucial. As I often do, I shared this story with my leadership team, likening it to us cleaning our kitchens with Kleenex. We would never do that. But this is a common issue. What would you do? Do you follow the request, and proceed "branch by branch?" When was the last time this happened to you? Did you raise your concerns to your leaders? Let's talk about it. #effort #roi #criticalthinking #processes #efficiency
