green it yourself: reclaimed wood cutting board

Reclaimed wood is a fantastic green material. Using reclaimed wood not only gives new life to old wood but also saves a bit of virgin wood from being harvested. Everything from furniture to siding to cabinetry can be made from reclaimed wood, which comes from sources like old buildings, railroad trestles, fallen trees, old docks, and barrels from breweries and wineries. For a fun adventure, try collecting reclaimed wood on your own or just find a local lumber or scrap yard where they collect and sell it. You can search Buildingreuse.org to locate a place near you. Making your own cutting board out of reclaimed wood is a fun and useful way to get familiar with reclaimed wood.
