Creative uses for old wood

June 23, 2008 Ben General

I just visited The Home Garden blog and found this great post about recycling old pieces of trees.

They have created some very simple but attractive designs using nothing more than a tree branch and a chainsaw.

Check it out at The Home Garden

I would love to create some items like this in my garden, but fear that the wood would attract a termites nest, bringing them closer to my home. I guess I’ll have to move further south where they are not as much of an issue.

  Thanks for visiting my blog and the link above! Termites can be a problem down here, the key is to keep them away from the house. The bench is probably 30-40 feet away from the house. It’s really closer to the woods (which most likely has termites already) than the house.

  ha ha…it’s great to see that there are individuals that are having the same insect problems. I live in San Diego and I swear we live right on top of an ant and termite hill.
