There are many types of “green” lumber that Lawrence Gandsey uses for his furniture. Salvage wood can be logs brought up from the bottom of a lake or river, wood from a dismantled water tower, or trees that have been blown down in a big storm. It can also be timber that has been sustainably grown and requires certification.
