Reclaiming Urban Wood in Arcadia

One of the best parts about being a woodworker in Central Phoenix is all the old-growth trees around Arcadia during spring-time bulk pickup. There's been a lot more construction going on in Phoenix than usual after this latest wave of expansion and that means more felled trees. A lot of these pieces are cut too small to be salvageable or sometimes they arent good species to build with, but sometimes you get lucky.

We found this large Olive wood stump that will be turned into a stump coffee table with thick glass top.
