Island gardeners Jim and Cassie Gleckler are looking for a source of sawdust to mix with their lawn clippings to make compost. Because they use the compost on their vegetable garden, the sawdust needs to come from plain wood—no treated wood or material with glue, such as plywood or particleboard. They will be happy to pick up what you have. If you have some to share, please contact them through the following form.
Not your typical bus shelter
The first houses in the new Ferncliff Avenue affordable housing project are just beginning to be built, but a beautiful amenity of the neighborhood—a timberframed bus shelter—is already in place. Volunteers from Bainbridge Island Community Woodshop assembled and finished the structure in mid November, using wood from trees that had to be cleared from the site to make way for the development. Coyote Woodworks, a Bainbridge sawmill company, milled the wood, and timberframers at Salisbury Construction cut the joinery. See how the structure took shape.
