Magazine Profiles Baraboo Woodworks’ Urban Wood Model
Posted in News
Baraboo Woodworks, a member of Wisconsin Urban Wood, was recently featured in Madison Essentials magazine.
The business, focused on converting end-of-life landscape trees into lumber and custom furniture, was launched a year ago by Fred Clark, who previously served three terms in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Clark, a professional arborist, is also executive director of the Forest Stewards Guild.
“The entire concept of Baraboo Woodworks is to connect local wood with local buyers,” Clark told the magazine. “We want to create better options and reduce waste by connecting forests and tree owners with people who care about local products and locally made materials.”
Do you buy walnut logs?
While we advocate the repurposing of urban trees at the end of their service for lumber and wood products, Illinois Urban Wood does not buy or sell logs.
