Camosun Fine Furniture students turn forest into furniture by re-using the trees, cleared from the site of the new Centre for Trades Education & Innovation, and repurposing the wood into stunningly designed benches, for the trades students in the new facility.

Hi, speaking on behalf of a a strata, we have 2 eastern maple trees that will need to ve removed shortly. One has the crown dieing over the last 5 years. The other one, bloomed this spring and then no green leaves or new growth. If we have an arborist remove the trees, would the college be able to use the trunk wood? I understand that you have a commercial kiln. Becoming mulch or fire wood sounds sad for a grand old tree. Thank you for your response.

Hi, your site keeps losing g my comments. I am asking if your department will take the trunks of two maple trees to use in your furniture crafting program.
Thanks,
Louise
