| Michael Finkelstein, Eco-Woodturner |
Eco-Woodturning is the use of ecologically friendly wood in the crafting of wood-turned items.
Utilizing recycled logs helps me minimize
the environmental impact of my work
Each unique numbered woodturning can be traced back to either a tree-recycling site or the actual street where I obtained the logs.
How I Reduce My Eco-Footprint
Use only hardwood logs recycled from fallen trees
Woodturning Lathe & Dust Collector System wired for 240v to reduce energy consumption
No air conditioner in the shop
Natural drying of most bowls and platters
Workshop lighting uses eco bulbs
Preference for eco-friendly, food-safe finishing materials; oils, finishes and glues
Use recycled paper packaging materials
Recycle wood chips and sawdust from the production process; FoodShare Toronto uses our wood chips for composting !
