Millworkz<\/p>\n

This environmentally responsible wood mill has a myriad of wood pieces for your next DIY project. New logs arrive to their location often, and instead of being wasted and burned, Millworkz repurposes the slabs of wood into art, or you can choose to make your own artistic interpretation from their vast inventory. A leader in their industry, Millworkz uses beetle-killed trees, naturally fallen trees, or trees that PG&E has deemed a danger to power lines, and turned this wood into beautiful works of art. Millworkz says \u201cWhen trees are\u00a0cut down, not only\u00a0does carbon\u00a0absorption cease, but also the\u00a0carbon\u00a0stored in the\u00a0trees\u00a0is\u00a0released\u00a0into the atmosphere as\u00a0CO2\u00a0if the wood is burned or even if it is left to rot after the deforestation process. We are repurposing what most of the industry is disposing of into the environment\u201d.\u00a0Open every day 10:00 to 5:30 except Sundays and Tuesdays (which are available by appointment).<\/p>\n
