It Grows On Trees
Woodworking Competition
and Exhibit of carvings and other wood art made from ash trees
and other locally-salvaged timber.
Entries due by January
15, 2007
Sponsored by Riverside Art Center Gallery
and Southeast Michigan Resource Conservation & Development
Council
The exhibit and competition "presents
creative uses for local and under-valued wood. Materials may
include ash trees and other locally-salvaged timber; sticks, branches
and sawmill waste; "junk wood" species like mulberry
and box-elder, and lumber salvaged from pallets and shipping materials."
Please note this exhibit and competition
is limited to makers and timber from Michigan and the Emerald
Ash Borer-affected region.
For more information, click HERE
or email michiganwoodart@gtlakes.com
Editors Note: As
many of you know, ash tree populations in portions of Michigan
and other states have been devastated by the Emerald Ash Borer,
with millions of trees already destroyed and hundreds of tons
of wood land-filled, chipped or burned. This competition is
an attempt to find alternative uses for ash wood and other "found"
wood.
